I know she will be a great addition to heaven. I want Janice to know my heart breaks for her. but if she ever needs me as long as God lets me I will be here for her. She is also a great blessing to me.Barbara will be missed by all that knew her but she is with the Lord now and I know she is happy and watching over her girls.May God be with them in the days ahead and help all the family to know they will all be with her in the future.

Frisco, TX Saturday, June 5, 2010 I've known Barbara since we started the first grade together in Sparkman, AR. in 1944. Her mother died when we were in the tenth grade and she had to move out of town and live with relatives. She did not graduate from high school with our class in 1956. She always returned to class reunions that we have every 5 years and we had good visits talking about old Sparkman memories. Barbara was a lovely and friendly lady and we'll all miss her at our reunions and always.Our deepest condolences to her family for their loss.
