Barb, so many years of friendship you have given me, leaving me with nothing but great memories. To have witnessed your courageous battle with cancer, set an example for all of us. Your strength and attitude during those years gave us all a standard of spirtuality to strive for. I will so miss the regular dinner group from General Code that you seldom if ever missed. I will miss the many times we would go out to breakfast and I suffered watching while you ate (grits). I remember how you always grabbed the "check" no matter how hard I would protest. You would always say "well you can get the next one" but that never happened. Most of all I will miss your smile and the conversations we had about life. Thank you for encouraging me to become an Elections Inspector and for giving me the pattern to knit "hats for the homeless" like you did. I love you and I know God will give you a good seat on the bus. Remember, you promised you would save me a good seat too! I love you girlfriend, God bless you!

Dear Watkins Family, Barb will always have a special place in my heart as well. I always enjoyed talking and laughing with her. Her smile and sense of humor were wonderful and helped me through my tough times. God made her a special angel and she will always be flying among us to make sure we treat everyone like she treated all of us. God Bless and Angels watch over all of you. With Love, Joanie

I have so many memories, too many to list them all but here are a few: I remember all the times we spent with our family because my mother taught me how important family is. We had a lot of fun and wonderful camping trips, trips to Disney, and trips out west. I also wanted to say that I am so VERY GREATFUL that my parents picked me and adopted me(probably out of many). I have always known that I was wanted and loved. Mom, I will miss your calls, and you asking me if I took my medicine, and if I didn't feel good one day you would always ask if I needed help doing anything in my house when you didn't feel good yourself. I Love you & will miss you!!
