Ginger Mulligan wrote a sympathy message

“Indeed Barbara deserved to be called the “Grande Dame.” She was a force intellectually and artistically, a lady of elegant style, with a wit both acerbic and hysterical. She had a mind that was intellectually curious and amazingly retentive, making her an extraordinary conversationalist. One never questioned what her political and societal opinions were, as she articulated them with a compelling oratory. She adored her family. My life was enriched by knowing her. With love, Ginger Mulligan”
