Bonnie and Joe,
With the passing of your mother we have now lost our" other mother" too, and we understand how deeply this loss hurts. We love you and grieve with you during this time. There are no words which adequately express our sorrow, only the understanding that in time it does get easier to bear. We love you.
Janese, Eloise, Joyce and Preston Sampson

I can honestly say that I know how you feel. Loosing a parent, especially your mother is one of the most devastating events that one must endure. When God looked around his beautiful Heavenly Garden and realized that he needed another flower, he sent his Angels to summon Mrs. Barber. She is resting in the Garden, however memories of her will forever linger in your hearts. Take as long as you need to grieve, it becomes easier as time passes. My family and I will continue to pray for your peace and understanding.

To the Barber family May God be with you in your time of bereavement, and remember "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord"
