So sorry for your loss. I have known Barbara & Charles my whole life. I always Loved to hear them sing. I went to church with them at Pole Creek. I pray God will hold you in His arms & Comfort you during this time. You & your family are in our thoughts & Prayers.

Sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing! I was so glad to get to know her these last several years, enjoyed doing Barbara’s hair every Friday morning. My deepest sympathy to all of you!!!
The death of our parents is one of life’s most difficult experiences. I don’t think we are ever ready to say goodbye, we always want to see their sweet smile or hear them say “I love you” one more time. Be kind to yourselves & to each other. And He will give you everything you need to face whatever you encounter in this fallen world, even death (2 Peter 1:3)
My condolences to the family.

Your Mother was a product of the missions training at Pole Creek, and she was always faithful in her Missions work in the church. Many hot meals were served to grieving families as a result of her efforts. She is now enjoying the sights and wonders of heaven that she deserves. Rory and Mya were in the crowd with family to greet her when she left you last week. What a glorious reunion we all have to look forward to! Our prayers will continue for each of you to have the privilege to know and achieve God’s will in your lives and follow in your parents footsteps.
Our Love in Jesus,
Royce & Gwenda
