Not sure what to say?

My father, Forrest L. Ramser, has asked me to extend his sincerest sympathy to Mrs. Barrow's family. "She was a remarkable woman; she did it all," he told me. Dad had the privilege of serving alongside her on the Salvation Army Board for over 30 years; "she was an inspiration."

What a wonderful person to have been in our family. Such good values and involvement.

We are so sorry to hear of your lost and we send our deepest regrets. Ms. Phyllis, was a wonderful and enlighting lady!

I was truly saddened to hear of Mrs. Barrow's death. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and know that all of you are in my prayers. She was indeed a gracious lady. I can't remember a time when she was not a part of The Salvation Army family. She will be missed. May God's peace be with you all.

Mrs. Barrow was my professor of Georgia History 25 years ago and to this day I still treasure the class and the assignment of naming all the counties and county seats in Georgia. I was given a new understanding of my native state and its history in a way no other Georgian could provide.
