Betty & Family,
Bob was a wonderful man & I always enjoyed his presence back when we both were at the Civic Center. I'm glad I had the chance to come by a while back to sit & talk with him some. :o) Bob will never be forgotten & in our minds, he still lives - which is what really matters.
If you need anything Betty, PLEASE call us. Our number is in the phonebook still.. lol.
Take Care & God Bless,
Nick Curry & family

Mr. Barker was like a Dad to me my whole life. Whenever I needed something the Barkers welcomed me in to their home like I was one of their kids. I will miss him dearly.

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Come With Me
God saw that you were suffering
and a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
and whispered, "Come with me".
Through tear filled eyes
we watched you suffer
and slowly fade away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Bob was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend, he will be remembered forever in our hearts.
With our Deepest Sympathy,
Love,
April Goodwin, Robert Shifflett, Brandon & Corey Goodwin
