No my birthday I wish so much to hear you say. "Happy Birthday baby" as you always do. I found this in your clutche.
You're Missed!
It's surprising how often I think of you, turn to speak to you, and realize you're not right there as I expect you to be. I guess I hold you so close in thought that it's hard to understand sometimes that you aren't close in person. But I wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and wishing we could talk and just be together awhile-
you're really missed!
Queen Barbara that said it all! I Love you more! Your Chuckie!

On this day We became One!
Barbara you made me the happiest man on earth and You knew it. You are the Queen, a wife,and my best friend and we are 1. Nothing could separate us from the Love God gave us. God blessed me with you and you and Him help me to Love again. Queen all I do is think of you and how so happy you made me! You're my runshine of heart and always on my mind. I may not be able to be with you now, I looking forward to being with you again. Just like when we went to Cedar Point Amusement park. We went on a ride. We all buckle and ready to go. You said "I want off this ride." You made the woman controller stop the ride. Then you left Mrs. Beckwith and I on it. After the ride stop you was waiting at the end of the exist. A big smile and laughing at us. We couldn't walk straight. You asked God to stop this ride on earth and He took you Home! I'll see you again!
Happy Anniversary Queen Barbara I Love You! I know what you say "I Love you More! Your Chuckie Gammon

My deepest condolences to the Manning and Gammon family. I am sadden to hear that Sister Barbara left her fleshly tabernacle and took the hand of Jesus. Although life for you will never be the same take comfort in knowing that she is resting in our Saviors presence. No more pain, hurt, sorrow, or worry for her. Nothing anyone can say will stop the hurt and pain you feel in your heart and it may be worse before it gets lighter. I pray that God will continue to wrap His loving arms around you Reverend Chucky Gammon and surround you with caring family and friends. Continued prayer for all her family and everyone that was part of Barbara's life. We know one day we will all be together again Praising God.

To the family of Barbara Gammon
She was truly a great woman of God and beautiful inside and out. She will surely be missed at Ebenezer Full Gospel Baptist Church were she was a faithful member until her illness. She would always greet with her beautiful smile and willing to help in any and every way. God saw a beautiful flower and plucked it from earth to plant in His heavenly garden. Barbara is surely wearing of crown of glory. My prayers to the family friends who loved her dearly. Asking God for peace and comfort.

Mrs. Barbara, is what I would always call you to start off our many conversations that always ended in laughter. I will truly miss your wonderful spirit. Although, I'm still in disbelief that you are no longer with us, I know you are resting peacefully in a place where the cares of the world are no longer yours. Because Jesus lives I know that one day we will see each other again. I know that God is a keeper.
