Dear Toney Family,
Condolences and deepest sorrow. We pray that God's mercy gives you the strength to accept Barbara's "home going". She has been reunited with her many predeceased heavenly angels including my mother Nellie Allen. Their earthly friendship lasted over 75 years and now they are reunited again in eternity.
Ron Allen & the Allen family from Providence, RI
