To the Barnes family, I am sending my deepest sympathy to your family. I heard my "father the "late" Herman Henderson talk about "Uncle Oddie" I think I even met him as a child years ago, but seeing that my father talked so highly of him, I knew I had to offer my condolences. Take care and remember all of the special things that Uncle Oddie has taught each and everyone that was blessed to have known him. 101 years "young" now that had to be a man with knowlege, So his teachings here on earth...

I will always remember Mr. Barnes' big smile and his kind and encouraging words. He will be deeply missed.

To all of my family:

May God continue to bless you, and keep you safe during this time of sadness.

To Mrs. Barnes and family, we have been deeply saddened to learn of the home going of Deacon Barnes, but we also rejoice in knowing that his suffering on this side is over and he is resting with Jesus ever to rejoice. Please know for certain that we are praying for you. We will miss "Mr. Oddie" Sincerely with our deepest Sympathies, Dea. William (Al) and Min. Connie Gammon

Grandfather,



I just would like to say I'm very glad of the fact that I got to (re)meet you at the Family Reunion. I wasn't in your life on a daily basis, however; you still knew exactly who I was. "Little Doug" is what you use to always call me. You also use to tell me my looks will never change. I've looked the same since I was a little boy. I tell everyone who surrounds me that we have a "genetic curse" of slow aging for the simple fact that you don't look your age. You...

Our sympathies goes out to the family, may you find peace in knowing that God is near, lean on Him. Ray & Linda Hill

My grandfather.

I love you and going to miss you dearly.

Love Always Elbert.
