Mama Barbara,
Feeling the quickness in my heart, not sure, what it might be, there it was again only to give me peace and assurance that everything would be alright no matter what the circumstance might be providing calmness I didn't quite understand wondering where it came from along with a quietness I didn't recognize only to be surprised by the love I felt and indescribable love that cant be explained only a few would ever know feelings of doubt and unforgiveness, disappearing, along with disappointment and heartache my faith soaring to new level believing all that my Lord has in store for me my tears subside not to return I knew without a doubt it was my Lord Knocking at my heart wanting you to come in. Love you Mama Barbara Revelation 3:20

My mother and father, Archie and Bessie Bacon lived across the street from Barbara for many years. They thought the world of her and Barbara helped look after them while they were there. We appreciated all she done for them and have told her so. Our sincere condolences go to the whole family and all those who loved her. May God be very close to you all at this sad time in your lives.Keep her memory alive with the precious memories you have in your hearts.
