To The Startz Family,
I was so sad to read of the passing of Barbara. What an incredible woman she was! Not only remembering her as a child, but later in life to get to know her as an adult, she brought much happiness to everyone she came in contact with. There will always be a special place in my heart for her, and now she joins the love of her life. You are all in my thoughts and prayers,
Sincerely, Pam (Teague) Champlin and The Whole Teague Family

I have never known Mrs. Startz, but through association with her son Kenneth, I am sure she was a great lady. My condolences go out to Ken and Kim, and the entire Startz family, as I can only pray for God to help strenghten them, as she herself was strong throughout this whole ordeal. May the peace and love of God be with you always, now and forever.
