Don & Family,

I am so excited to learn our beautiful Barbara is with her great and exceeding reward. You both touched my heart so deep in SOL, when I was first getting to know you both. I got to see the excitement of waiting for your grandchilds birth, and the picture you broght the next week to show off. I am praying for you all, and I know God has you in the palm of His hands. He would bring you this far to leave you now.
In Him Always,
Heather Toler
From New Life

I am so sorry for your loss. I rarely saw Barbara when she wasn't with her mother and I know what a wonderful bond that is. Margaret, my prayers are with you. And Dale, whenever I ran into Barbara, she would tell me about your life and what you were doing. She was very proud of you. I know you will all miss her.

This quote helps me when I think of Daddy:
Those we love are with the Lord, and the Lord has promised to be with us. If they are with Him and He is with us, they cannot be far away.

I send my prayers of healing as you
and your Family go through the next
days, weeks and months. Just remember that your beloved Barbara
is at peace now and has a complete
healing of her sick body. No more
pain and struggle. No more tests or machines and IV's. Just wonderful,
glorious Peace as she walks with The
Father in her Eternal Home - where
she will have no more needs or worries. Just beautiful Peace - forevermore.

I grew up with the Thaw Family at
Sandston Baptist Church in Sandston,
Va. I was friends with Susan - we are the same age. I remember Mrs.
Thaw - their Mother. I am hoping to
make contact with Susan.

May God Bless your Family during this so very tender time and keep in your heart this thought - " If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it."

May your Family be richly Blessed by
your memories of Barbara and by the
many prayers being said for your Family.

May God Bless..............
