Milton and Cindy,
I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Today I hear about the passing of Mrs. Barber and my heart aches for you and your family. I know how much you loved your mother and I'm sure she appreciated all the time you carved out of your day to day to spend with her. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of, Mrs. Barber. With all her love and joys, I imagine she was an amazing woman! I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is John 11:25, which says, " Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved mother, grandma and friend. Sincerely, Meryl
Milton and Cindy. I am so sorry. Your mother was a lovely lady.
Mel and I remember many good visits with Tommie and Truman. Tommie was always so much fun and sweet to everyone. She handled whatever she faced with grace. God bless her family with comfort during their time of loss.
Nanna, you will be missed. You always could make me smile. From games,to pies or just goofing around with me. I wish we would have had more time together.
We will miss Aunt Tommie Lou so much. She was very funny and sweet. We really enjoyed the visits we had with her and Uncle Truman. Our thoughts and prayers are with Milton, Cindy and their families. God bless.
