Miss Barbie
I hope I make you proud when I sing your favorite song at your funeral. When you ask me couple months ago to learn it and sing it when something happened to you, I never thought it would be this soon. Love you Barbie

You loved your church the Paris Christian Center, and loved volunteering your time at the food bank.I know your heart was In everything you helped do, because you didnt do anything you didn’t want to. ??
