May GOD strengthen and keep you all in his care. My sweet Vonnie gone but not forgotten. You had me to put those very words in my mama's obituary. I will forever cherish our conversation when you called me ,just over a week before you went home to be with the Lord. You were my mama's B F F. When she left 8 months ago , You would often tell me how she introduced you to your precious husband. (August ) I leaned on you because you were so close to my mama ( Bernice ). You knew me before I was born, I will remember you for the rest of my life. I will miss you .On behalf of the Barriere family take your rest my friend. ( give my mama a big hug for me. ) I love you. . .... Janice
