Dearest Barbara and family, I mourn for her passing. I know she suffered from various ailments. She fought it all with her understanding of Metapsychiatry and the Course in Miracles. She participated in our PAGL Group for a number of years. Through her psycho-spiritual studies she contributed her wisdom to all of us in the group. It was a blessing to know her. May her soul have an easy transition during this most
Difficult time. And of course to her family. Please accept our sincere condolences. Diana and Bruce Kerievsky.

We enjoyed many discussions with Barbara on our common interest in Metapsychiatry, which was Dr. Hora’s teaching. She was a wise and inspired student and friend that I and fellow participants in our mostly monthly talks greatly appreciated. She is missed already, though we are glad that her physical discomfort is relieved.
