  1. So very sorry for your loss, Barbara has just beat us home. I loved Barbara & Jack. I pray God will comfort you as only He can. I thought of part of this song when I heard that Barbara had gone to be with the Lord….’Don’t worry about me, I’m going over. don’t take a second thought to where my soul is bound. Don’t worry about me, I’m going over, He’ll lead me over, set my feet on higher ground’.

  12. Today two years ago we spent the entire day enjoying talking, laughing about you being able to milk a cow with your healed broken hand and spending time together shopping and having a apple pie and sweet tea from Hardees it was a really good day… time goes so fast but it seems as it was yesterday you left our family and went to be with our Lord. I know that was your hearts desire to go home but you are so missed by me and us. I wouldn’t have you back in this horrible world for nothing but I sure would love to spend this day over with you again. I love you momma, I miss you.
