    So sorry for your loss I remember when I invited Barbara to church and she said if she ever got to have Sundays off she would think about coming. I am glad she did, it has been a joy having her in services and I grew to love her very much.

    Barbara’s Family,

    So sorry for your loss. I have known Barbara for over forty years and was re-acquainted with her working at Wal-Mart for a short time. I always enjoyed visiting with her and talking about old times. Evelyn, I wish I could have seen you and talked with you, but it was not possible for me to be there. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of sorrow.
