Mr Barger
My Mom and I were very sorry to hear about Mrs Barger's passing. You and Mrs Barger were the best neighbors anyone could ever ask for and it was a pleasure to have lived beside you for 16 years. Mrs Barger was one of the sweetest people I have ever met with a smile that could light up a room. May God Bless you and comfort you at this time, we will keep you in our thoughts.

John, I'm at a loss for words except you both have played a role in my growth & I know for a fact many others young and old, in church and as a person from my young age until the present time. I've stayed with Louise in the nursery and chatted with her while you coached me in softball. I am so sorry for your loss. May God be with you and give you strength as we all send you love and BIG hugs. Julie (Hefner) Ferrell
