Disability Resource Expo: Reaching Out for Answers

03/31/2026

Honoring our longtime Disability Resource Expo lead, Barb Bressner, whose passing is a huge loss to the community. Barb was the power behind our in person events for many years, and when the Boots took the lead, she continued to offer her support and wisdom to the project. Much love to her sweet family and infinity of friends.

Take part in remembering Barbara Bressner. Read her obituary, share your own memories, and learn about any funeral details on Ever Loved.
