To the Redding Family, Barbara was very special to me. We worked closely as supervisors in DFCS. She was always willing to help and give advise and I wanted to be like her. I think some of her traits are with a lot of people she came in contact. She always spoke lovingly of her family. My heart is saddened for your loss. To have someone so special to be absent is a tremendous loss. My prayers are for your heartache and I am grateful to have known her. God's Blessings, JoAnne Smith

Damon and Mr. Redding, my thoughts and prayers go out to you in your time of bereavement. We have been profoundly affected and changed at a very basic level by the glorious energy present in Mrs. Redding. As if she reflected, in some way, that there are no criteria to judge a person’s worth by simple societal guidelines. Here it is for the whole world to see, and to see in all its glory, that to have known her was to love her. Our best wishes to all the family.



Most sincerely,

Stephanie Bostic-Monds, RN
