I graduated from Brookland-Cayce High School with Barbara (year of 1970). I also worked and retired from BellSouth and saw her from time to time there. I will always smile when I think of Barbara's beautiful smile. I consider myself VERY blessed to have known her.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy & condolences to all of you at this time, when you're experienceing not only a great loss, but also much grief and sadness. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! "Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body." Philippians 3:20-21, NIV "And they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection." Luke 20:36, NIV - Barbara Ann, may you find peace, now walking hand in hand with Papa on the golden streets of Heaven. You are healed by God's amazing grace and will no longer experience pain or suffering. May all of your family find peace in knowing that you are their guardian angel watching over them, now & forever more until you meet again one day.
