Barbara and I were best friends in high school. We were quite the pair Barbara was tall and I was short, we had a lot of fun. So many wonderful memories of which I cherish them all. she was an amazing person and a great friend. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Awesome tennis partner and special friend.

From our first meeting in junior high, Barb & I became "sister/friends". We both moved to Bainbridge, Ohio. Separated by only a couple of miles, we spent lots of time together, always in non-stop philosophical conversations! (Deep!)
We each had three children and our two families were so close as we grew up together.
These wonderful times together were shared in annual Christmas
letters shared by our group of eight and this group of highschool gal pals gathered together for week-long reunions every few years during our entire lives! We are all blessed by these times and the memories we all still share.

I am shocked and saddened to read of Barbara's passing. We were tennis friends in Keowee Key but continued our friendship afterwards. I had to go to Charleston for a medical procedure. Barbara invited me to stay with her. She gave me her bed while she slept on the couch. We shared a wonderful meal at her favorite restaurant. Rest In Peace, dear sweet Barbara.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Will be thinking of you all during this time.

Susan, Mike and John,
Nothing anyone can say will take away the pain you´re experiencing. I hope you can look back on your precious memories and know that her amazing personality lives on through all of you. Lean on those memories to remind you of the joy she brought to so many.
It was such a privilege to have her in my life.
Sending you all good thoughts of special angels on your shoulders.

Susan, Michael, John and family, I am very saddened to learn of Barbara´s passing. She was one of the kindest, talented, generous, and easy going persons I had the pleasure to call friend. She was a one of a kind. I know you must be feeling a very tremendous loss that seems unimaginable. I pray you will all be given the strength and peace you need to see you through. Keep her memories tucked deep in your hearts. I surely will. I loved painting and traveling with her. I will never forget our New York City trip in 2007. She was just so special.

I am so sorry and so sadden for the loss of your mother, grandma, sister, and my dear, dear friend of over 65 years. She was such a wonderful, knowledgeable lady. I used to tell her all the time "Barb, you're 'so deep' I can't follow you. You're to deep" We would laugh. She was 'so deep' in her thoughts and expressions. She always had the answers too. Our last conversation was about her coming up north 'home' for our 60th class reunion and she was going to stay here at my house along with a couple more of our girlfriends from out of town. I just don't know what to say. I am so sorry, so very sorry. How we all loved Barb. Sherry 'Krauss' Lorek


Pictures from a long time ago. First one was our 40th high school reunion in 2003. second picture is Barb's graduation pic from 1963. Third picture is Barb and I -maybe 2003 and the last picture is Barb and I in 1992, it was our first (of many) trips away with 'the high school girls.' Oh how we'll miss you Barb.

Susan, Michael and John, I am so sorry for loss. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.

She must've been an incredible human being to have created so many amazing children, grand children, and greats. I'm very sorry for the family's loss. Love and light to all.

Barbara Budan was an amazing woman. I was fortunate enough to know her during my teenage years and learned a great deal from her. I later thought how she was parallel to Martha Stewart on so many levels. She was a fabulous cook, amazing gardner, wonderful decorator, devoted wife, and a loving mother. She exposed me to a world of class and culture and helped nurture me into a better person. I will be forever thankful for the impact she and her entire family had on my life.

I graduated with Barbara, we had so much fun together in high school. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. I will keep all those happy memories in my heart. My condolences to her family, she was a wonderful friend. Prayers for your strength during this sad time.

What a privilege to have such a loving sister. Our love and deep friendship are forever but I will miss her dearly. Wanted to include this beautiful picture taken in 2015 with her two oldest grandsons Jack Budan and James Kampmeyer. She was blessed to have 6 beautiful grandchildren and three great grandchildren who she loved and treasured more than anything. My deepest sympathy to her dear children- Susan, Mike and Susan. We will all be keeping her in our memory forever.

Deep condolences to you and your family.
Losing a parent is never easy. Just be thankful you have a lot of special memories to make you smile.
