Kris and family,
Our deepest condolences go out to you and the ENTIRE Natesan family. When GOD called momma Natesan home, HE added another PRECIOUS flower to his garden. May GODs peace carry you through during this difficult time.

God has plucked one of his flowers from the garden of life because she had taken root, blossomed and grown into what god needed. To Barbara's family, May God keep and comfort each and everyone of you.

Barbara always had a great devotion to her family and extended families. I'll never forget how she helped me as a young mother by giving me employment and a home with her sibling family members. My deepest sympathies. Margaret Dolson (M.C.)
