To The Family,

Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I'll miss you, until we meet again!

Paul wrote...
" According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

" For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

I will miss my mentor in Christ, our prayer time and our times together.

The Webber-Barker Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you in the lost of your love one - Mrs. Webber-Barker. Mrs. Webber-Barker was a dedicated educator at Macedonia Elem School in Blackville, SC. She was a friend of our family and lived in our home for one school term. She was family during that year and an outstanding lady. May God bless you and strengthen you for the journey ahead. God be with you.
