Brenda, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how close you were to Barbara and "the old man". You are blessed that you had them in your life. They were such fine people and touched so many lives. Remember the good times and the love that they had for you and "little Willie".

Willie, Cindy and Brenda, we are so sorry to hear about Barbara. I know she was just like a mother to you, Brenda. She is with "The Old Man" now and talking nonstop. We have never forgot the fun times we had with the whole gang, or lots of the funny stories of things that Barbara did. You could have wrote a book. I know yall will miss her very much. You are in our prayers and thoughts. Love Ethel and Kenneth
