Melba was a good friend to me during the years of my stay in Arkansas. We shared interests centered around our families and our church. She was a bright, loving, caring spirit. To you, Terry and Pam, and to your children, she has left a great heritage.
I join you in mourning her passing, but am glad to think she now knows full peace and joy.

My deepest love and condolences to the family of Mrs. Barnett. She will always be in my thoughts and memories as a beautiful, vibrant, elegant woman, the mother of my dearest friend, and someone I looked up to as the kind of person I wanted to be when I grew up. Years have separated us, but the love of God has kept us together. May God welcome you with open arms to your new Heavenly home.
