My heart and prayers go out to the Barnes Family during the loss of your dear mother/grandmother/friend. At times like these, it is sometimes difficult to know what to say or do for the family left behind. As often as you can please keep this one thought in mind: Our Heavenly Father will never forget those who are written in His "Book of Remembrance." Malachi 3:16. So, you can find comfort in knowing that when you see her again, she will be the same loving person that you have always known and loved.

Live brings tears, smiles and memories. My tears will dry up, my smile will return but my memories will always be with me.

I know Mary will be missed for her grace and love of Christ among other things. I hope you will all be comforted that she is no longer in pain and is rejoicing in the presence of our Savior.

I am sorry to learn of Mary's Passing. She was a wonderful friend to my mother when we lived on Dewey Rd. Mary used to give us haircuts in her home when we were pre-schoolers. As children, "Biff" and Chuck were good friends to my brother and I as well.
My sincere heartfelt sympathy to all of the family.

I love and miss you so much Grandma. Can't believe you are really gone. I hope you are dancing your way around heaven with Granddad.

Love your "Jinger"
