It is impossible to think of “Barbree” without the memory of her laughter filling the house. Condolences to you at this sad time.

Our sympathy to your family. Barbara was always a lot of fun to be around! We drive by Uncle Jess & Aunt Venita’s house occasionally and Danny reminisces about being there with his Grandpa Logan Clark. Lots of precious memories!! May God comfort your hearts.
Love & Prayers, Danny & Debbie Jones
