Barbara was a wonderful friend and neighbor. Her giving heart was a blessing to all who knew her. She never had a bad word to say about anyone and her Christian spirit was always grateful! She loved to fish and loved to cook & eat them as well. She was a wonderful cook and always wanted to share with her friends and neighbors her wonderful dishes & baked goods. She always had a twinkle in her eye and her laugh was contagious! I remember so vividly her & Melvin riding their bicycles in the neighborhood and Roscoe would be happily sailing along in Melvin’s bicycle basket.
Her happy face & giving heart will be sorely missed by me and all those who knew her. Rest in Peace my Dear Friend and know that you were loved.
Well said Deb,
Amen!
My best friend from the moment we met 1999. We could talk and share stories for hours. I still can see her in her kitchen making her coleslaw. She finally gave me that recipe. We loved to fish together and go get our Coca-Cola’s. I miss her so much. She was the most thoughtful and caring person you could ever meet. So proud of Tasha and her grandkids. The last post I got from her was of her granddoggies. Rest in peace my sweet friend. Love Marilyn and Mr. Louis
So sad to learn of Barbara’s passing. Rest In Peace my friend.
