The day that I learned of Wynonia's passing, I was in complete shock. I kept thinking that it couldn't be true, I was just texting with her the day before. I kept thinking it had to be some sort of mistake, or even some sort of horrible, horrible, unthinkable joke. I had hoped that Wynonia would come home soon. The home she had known for her adult life. I feel like her heart was always here. Here in the sunshine and wearing flip flops! That was one thing we both shared a love for……flip flops! We also shared the love of shopping, Coach purses, Starbucks, Tim Tebow, her Uncle Fred's Banana pudding, and Duck Dynasty! I knew Wynonia for nearly 10 years. We were back row buddies at church. We always helped with Fellowship at Church, which on more than one occasion resulted in a good laugh from one or both of us having a soda explode on us! My heart aches knowing that at 23 her life was only really beginning. Although I don't believe that anyone imagines that their life will end so young, Wynonia had made her preparations to leave this world long ago by trusting in the Lord. Because of this, I take comfort in knowing that I will one day see Wynonia's smiling face again.

Wynonia, you will be so missed. I remember spending nights over your house laughing and joking about the silliest ideas our twelve year old minds could think of! I remember spending time with your parents laughing also :) I remember spending hours on the phone talking about nonsense. You helped me through so many tough times, I can't even share them all. I am so grateful for our friendship and the memories we have. Love you and miss you always <3 Erica McMahon

To the Barrows Family,
My sincerest condolences to the whole family for Nona's untimely departure from this earth. May she finally rest in eternal glory along side her family members. Its a sad thing to see and hear of such a young soul taken so early. I guess God needed her. May time heal your souls remembering the great times with her. RIP Nona, God keep giving her family peace:o)

Wynonia...our hearts broke when we heard the news. We just saw you at Khol's and you waited on us. You hugged us because you had not seen us for so long. Your friend Stephanie will never forget you as you both have shared the same birthday for 23 years. Your life was short, but you are know with your family again. Rest in Peace. May your family find comfort and peace and stay strong.

Wynonia...Until we actually saw your name and picture in the obituaries we found it so hard to believe that you were gone. Your life on this earth was so short and it is not fair to your family and friends. You know that your friend Stephanie will never be able to forget you as you both have shared the same birthday for 23 years. You are now with your mom, dad and sister. May you find comfort and peace. We just saw you at Khol's just a few weeks ago. You waited on us and came over to hug us all. It was nice to see you. RIP Wynonia..To you family..Stay strong and you will get though this. We are so sorry for your loss.
The Leary Family...Stephanie, Sue and Randy
