Mary Whiteside Barker

I was going through my emails and found this link and realized I never wrote anything. I just wanted to let you know that your entire family has been in my prayers. Each and every person in this family has a truly genuine and blessed heart. I know most of that comes from how you were raised and from Melisa and Marsha, to Morgan and all the other grandkids, I know that Mary was a very special, loving, and gracious mother, grandmother, and friend. I had the blessing of getting to know Mary...

What a beautiful service for such a beautiful lady. Paul and I were so touched to hear Mrs. Barker's amazing legacy and commitment to her family and the Lord. I work in Human Resources with Marsha, and she is very special to me. I feel blessed to have met you and Mrs. Barker and am forever blessed to know the Mason family. Please know that we are lifting you all up in prayer today, tomorrow and always.
Blessings,
Shannon

Dear Mr. Barker, Melissa, Marsha, and Mark:

I was saddened to read about the passing of your wife and mother. As a teenager, I visited your house often and Mrs. Barker always made me feel welcome. However, I know she is now in Heaven with Mon and Dad. They are probably comparing notes on how difficult it is to raise teenagers.

Mrs. Barker can be proud of how sucessful she was in raising her children. What better complement can I give to a Mother?

Your...

Morris,

Although I have never met you I know Dad has talked about you often. (Joe Greskamp) Our prayers are with you and your family.

God Bless,
Dan Greskamp

I was so sad to hear about Mrs. Barker's passing. What a sweet and loving lady she was to everyone, including all the other kids that hung out at her house. I remember coming to your house several times after church and enjoying some of her wonderful Sunday lunches that she prepared and served--after having spent all morning at Crescent Park. She was funny as well as kind. I can still hear her saying when restaurant service was slow: "Did they have to kill the cow?"
I pray that...

We are now home from the Service. What a tribute of her life. It was such an amazing time listening the the children, grandchildren, relatives, and the pastor share about what a Christian example and legecy.. Just know we are lifting you ALL in our prayers. Love U so much Will, Doris, (doedoe) David, Kristi, Shelby and Allie Claire.... Love All of YOU and praying for all of YOU..
