I’ll miss you, Nanny Barbara!
Steve and Cindy, your momma was the most loving of beings. She didn’t have much to give but if you needed it, she gave. She was a joy to talk too. Loved her outlook on life. I know the big hole in your heart will never be filled but she sure loved her children. She’ll be missed by all. Thought and prayers. Brenda and Mike Parris
