I am very saddened by th news of BJ's passing. I worked with her at McKay. She was a dedicated & loving teacher, who really enjoyed her position. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts & prayers are with her family. I enjoyed her stories & pictures of Chelsea. I am sure that she is in the part of Heaven with lots of dog parks.

Although I did not know BJ, I know her sister Susan, who always spoke lovingly, glowingly and highly of BJ. I know she was devoted to the children she taught and to her beloved dog. Her passing is a tragedy for us on earth but she is Heaven's gain now. God must really have wanted her home. May she rest in peace. Heartfelt condolences to her loved ones.

Ms. Barker was my 5 year old son first teacher and boy did he love her. We are truly blessed to have had her impact our lives in such a short time. My son will continue to teach his younger brother every song that she ever taught him. (Quantansha and Joevonn McCottry)

Bobbie's light will continue to shine. She touched many with her ever so upbeat manner and smile. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to work with her at McKay. She will be missed. May God bless you and Chelsea.

Bobbie loved life, and to hear of her untimely death shocked and deeply saddened me. She loved all the little children she taught, and they in turn loved her. McKay School children will surely miss Ms. Barker.

I am very sorry for your loss. There is a scripture at Acts 17:31 that might bring some encouragement to the family.
