My heart and prayers are with Barbara's family. I called her: BJ. She will be truly missed. I loved BJ as if she was a sister. She has always been a motivator and a God fearing woman. Always had a comforting Word and referred you to a scripture for whatever circumstance...

To Byron and family,
I am deeply saddened by Barbara Ann's passing. I spent time as a young girl with Barbara Ann, Martha Esther, B-Baby and Vickie. They were beautiful inside and out, genuinely nice, such that I once asked my mom if I could live with them. Family take comfort in knowing that one day we shall see Barbara Ann again, and all our love ones that are present with the Lord. May the Lord comfort you, as only He can do, as you move forward without Barbara Ann. Much love

Barbara and i worked together at Methodist Hospital when we were in high school. We worked on the dinner tray line from 4pm to 7:30. When u work with someone you fine out so much about the person. When i heard of her passing. My first thought was she was beautiful inside and out. She was someone you could talk with and not gossip. My sister u have earned your wings !!

Sister Joy was a faithful member of the Church of the Living God, Houston, TX. She always had a warm smile and a hug for you.
She was loved and will be missed.
To Byron and her family members, may God keep you in perfect peace. Rest in Heave Sis Joy.
