My heart goes out to the Barton family. I was a client of Steve's and it was always a joy to have her stop by. She was certainly a very lovely lady and I know she will be missed. My very deepest sympathy, Vicki Short

We were so sorry to learn of Marilyn's death. So many wonderful memories of Marilyn and the family when we were all young and our boys spent so much time together.
In later years I always enjoyed seeing her in church on Sunday when we sat together and kept up to date on each others families.
Sending love and prayers to all of you.

I´ll always remember my grandmother´s love for card games, football, and her laugh. She was a kind woman who loved her family to no measure. I´m happy she had a long life but I´m happy to know she is in heaven watching over us all.
