I consider myself so lucky that all three of my daughters were in Ms. Bass and Ms. Gallant's preschool class from around 2003 - 2008. I always admired her and appreciated her kind and gentle manner. (I've posted a post from a blogpost I made about how much my youngest daughter adored Ms. Bass.) It's hard to imagine how many lives she positively impacted at MPBS-TTWS alone. I know she made a huge impact on my life as well as my daughters, and for that I will always be grateful.

Being cousins, I have known Barbara all my life. She was seven years older than I so we didn't spend a lot of time together as we were growing up. However, in recent years, I had the pleasure of visiting with her and her sister Gail and remembering together our youth. She told me that she babysat for me when I was a toddler and I remember, when I was somewhat older, sitting around the dining room table with her family enjoying the delicious meals cooked by Aunt Mary Etta, her mother. One thing Aunt Mary Etta was known for was her ability to make fabulous angel food cakes - such a special treat. When we saw each other over the last several years, some of the things that struck me about Barbara were her delightful sense of humor, a certain playfulness in her demeanor, and a deep concern for the well being of others. Those times with her, thanks to Gail, were very meaningful to me and I regret not having spent more time seeing her. Still, I shall always be grateful for those visits and the connection we made during them. Barbara was a very special person and she will continue to live in my heart.

Barbara and I are cousins. She was seven years older than I, which meant I didn't know her as well as I would have liked when we were growing up. However, I learned a few years ago when visiting her that she was my babysitter when she was only eight or nine years old. Unknowingly, I followed in her footsteps and went to Winthrop College. Again, years later, we compared our college experience and the huge impact it had on our views and values and learned how much we had in common. Being able to visit and get to know Barbara better in recent years means a great deal to me and I feel blessed to have had those special times with her and her sister Gail.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Barbara for 9 years at TTWS and we had so much fun together. I learned so much from her about teaching and life in general. She was a wonderful caring supportive friend to me and I have fond memories of our time together teaching toddlers at TTWS.

I worked with Barbara at the TTWS, we had toddlers and laughed until our sides hurt. She taught me so much. We were actually together on 9/11. She was a kind, loving soul. I loved every moment we got to spend together. I even took her advice and had 4 kids. Peace to the family. To know her, was to love her. Barbara, I remember you fondly. Prayers and condolences to the Bass family.
