Barbara was a PT for my daughter Cassandra D'Amario. She was so amazing! She went above and beyond in so many ways.  I have yet to meet a therapist or any other professional in the field who can even touch her heart, her caring ways and her expertise. I do not know if she will ever know how much she meant to so many of her clients and their families.  Rest in Peace.

Love and prayers to you and all your family

Sad and surprised to have ran into this sad note. Barbara was one of the greatest human being that I have known. She was a the best therapist, co-worker and friend. Was a good listener and support when I was first brought into town, as well as a wonderful teacher ( even though the learner was not even 1/8 as good as she was ). She really gave the best of herself. And for that will always live in our hearts. With teary eyes and a broken heart I say goodbye Barb. Hope to see you and be guided by you again when it's time to make the move. I know you'll be as good as you were when I came to Tampa.

I too worked with Barbara at Bay Area Rehab.  She was by far the best pediatric therapist I have known but more importantly she also was a great friend.  I know she loved her daughters more than life itself and told me of enjoying so many trips with them.

From our family to Barbara's family we send our heartfelt sympathy. The head of our family Jerry Lillard and Barbara were great friends. They enjoyed being together playing Bunco, board games and eating out. I'm sure that they are having a wonderful time back together. May we all remember the wonderful times we've enjoyed with our loved ones and cherish each other every day. Sending our love your way, Terry, Terry, Amanda and Austin.

What a fine woman she was and all of us has such fun in our Bunco group when she was there for many years. We all became good friends and got together for card games and dining out along with Jerry Lillard, Evelyn Sanks and others. So sorry for your loss dear daughters. We have good memories as do you all, thank God.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known your mother all these many years in so many different venues.  She will be missed.  Maxine Smith

My wonderful Barbara. I was privileged to work with her at Bay Area Rehab for many year. Intelligent, articulate, caring, loving, responsible, generous, kind, humble are words that only begin to describe the person and life of Barbara Capitano. I learned much about physical therapy, about life, about working with others, about giving and passing forward the knowledge and gifts we have been given ourselves. A great legacy is written. The world is a better place thanks to Barbara and a sadder place by her passing. Rest In Peace dear friend Barbara.

I worked with Barbara at Bay Area Rehab close to 10 years . Each day I observed a therapist who approached and treated each patient with dignity , respect . Thank you for setting a great example for me ! . At present time I keep that in mind when treating patients . Karen Pitisci

I am so grateful to your mom, she helped get me started and gave me the opportunities to work in a great profession. I am lucky to have had some time with her recently and share memories.

Your mom was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. She always had something nice to say and was such a tireless volunteer in our church - answering phones, stuffing bulletins, signing checks and more! She was always a "giver" and a beautiful Christian woman. Family meant everything to her. I feel blessed to have known her. Prayers and hugs to all of you. Love, Patti (Stanley) DiOssi

My husband, Charley, and I loved our time together in our church couples club with your mom & dad for many years. Your mom was one of my dearest friends and I will miss her. We always had FUN together! You girls were her pride and joy and my heart and prayers go out to you.
Love, Anne Stanley

Sending my love and prayers to all Mom's daughters, Terry, Tina, Tammy, and Sherri, and those who loved her.  Thinking of all of you at this difficult time.  Cherish your memories as you celebrate Mom's life.  Annette

My thoughts and prayers are with you girls concerning the loss of your dear Mother. She was a lovely lady and good friend for many years. Love, Jean Leone
