MS Bryant, I was sorry to hear of your passing. I know you are in a better place now. You inspired me at the gym during water aerobics class. You were a beast in that water. A really sweet lady I'm glad I had the pleasure of knowing you. May you Rest in Heavenly Peace. My condolences to your family.

I truly can not wrap my mind around Ms. Barbara passing . I loved and cherish her. She always gave me such sweet compliments at the Y.
It is really hard going in there and not seeing her. She is with her Heavenly Father who loves her more. I cherished all the sweet memories I had with Ms. Barbara and how she loved that banana pudding I fixed her for Thanksgiving.
She will be sorely and truly missed.
