Although I did not know Barbara, I know her daughter Donna, whom I am sure she shines through. Such a pretty lady. I hope the family is comforted by all the loving words and shared memories.

I met Mrs Heard, in my community, where we worked, shopped, for the garden, last time I saw her, was early , in the pandemic, you know how she was, but, we hugged, again and again, she waited for me while I took care some business, we walked and talked. I will truly miss you my sister, we shared some wonder times. My prayers are with the family, she loved you so much, bragged about you, all the time.

Mrs Heard was such a stylish woman and her daughters followed in her foot steps. Never had a hair out of place and always a pretty smile. I will always remember her as one of our supportive Band Moms at The Mighty Velt along with my mom, Mrs Henderson and others. I pray that the peace of God dwells in Donna, Karen and Greta during this difficult time. Family, hold each up!! You will get through this. Amen

Momma, I miss you and will always love you. You raised us to be the women that we are today. Karen and I held your hands the last night of your life, we had the music playing, joking telling you to drop it like it's hot...you just smiled. GOD has called you home to rest. You will always be in my heart, my dear momma...until we see each other again...
