Leatrica and family . So sorry to hear about Barbara. I loved her like she was my mother. She was my godmother Wish I could of came to the service for her. I will cherish the memories of going to David and her place and spending time with them. Barbara always told me not to go near the creek and stay on this side. She would then go in and get me something to drink and say her love it's hot out here. She always told me she loved me, I was her girl. Sending prayers to all.
