Alex and I have fond memories of Barbara from our years at Annunciation in Memphis. She always had a beautiful smile and showed interest in our family and how we were. Our condolences to all the family.

Our family will miss Barbara. She always had a smile on her face and was on of the nicest people that we ever knew. We went to church with her years ago in Memphis. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

Dear Mr. Austin, Nancy, Michael, and family--I am deeply saddened for your loss. As you know, I enjoyed so many opportunities to be at your home and to witness the joy and laughter Mrs. Austin so easily shared. Please know that I am keeping all of you in my heart and thoughts. Sending you much love and warmth. Camellia

Every Holy Friday, since our first one at Annunciation, I have thought of you. It was such a pleasant surprise to meet you once again on Holy Friday at St Nicholas. It will always be our day to visit. Love you much dear friend.

Barbara was my son Donnie´s "second Mom". She was generous enough to let him stay with their family often while he went to college at the UN of Memphis. He always spoke lovingly of her, and now she´s getting a hug from him on the other side. <3
