The hardest part of love is having to say goodbye. Barbara was a rock in the family foundation. A strong, kind, woman is gone. Love and happy memories remain.

I was so fortunate to know Mrs. Davis, a lady who was sweet and sharp as a tack, though my friendship with her amazing granddaughter. She was admired and loved throughout her rich life by a great family I've come to know well. May she rest in peace knowing she'll be loved and missed always.

Dana and I are so blessed having known Barbara, we always felt like one of the kids. She was very much loved by her family and many lifelong friends. She loved the Lord, had strong family values and the determination to live her last years just as she planned. Though I know she will be missed very much, her love for family and friends will be the comfort we'll always have.
