Dear Mom,
The seasons of change has come and gone. So many years have passed without you but you are very much alive in my heart. For you truly are the only Mother I had and known. You are not forgotten but very much missed. As my children continue to grow they still know who you are and hear stories that make them laugh. We loved you in the flesh and we love you in spirit.
Sincerely with Love,
Brandy, Gavin, Phoenix and Willow

Bryon,
Just to let you know that my prayers to Jehovah will be for Him to give you the strength to endure this painful loss of your dear wife Brenda. It was truly an honor and a joyful day when I had the privilege to perform the wedding for Brenda and you. We all thank our loving Heaven Father who now has Brenda in the safest place she can be...in His memory for the resurrection. All of your spiritual family will be there, along with Jehovah's spirit to help you get through this "..sting of death". What wonderful reunions we will have soon when we are reunited forever in the new world.
I remember fondly being with my dad when he made the initial call on your dad, Jack. The rest is history and at 9 years old I would go on studys with Jack & June Shade. I am 75 now but so fondly remember your spiritually rich family. Again be assured of Jeanie and I's love for you and all your family,
May Jehovah bless you and your family.
Much love,
Joe and Jeanie Barbee
