To Eric Metcalf and Family:
We send our condolences on the lost of your beloved Aunt Barbara.
She was a wonderful fun loving woman that we were very fortunate to have gotten to meet and spend time with. She has placed precious memories in our hearts and souls.
I pray that God brings you and your family comfort during this time of lost.
Love Your Ohio Family,
Lisa, Darin, Lyndsey, Ryan, Drew, Chayce and Joshua
My mom was a very loving, caring, sweet person who always showed love to everyone she knew or was around. I remember as a kid how she would get me and Pete involved into sports activities and always be the first one ready to go to the games. Shoot, at times I thought she was playing the games or something! Nevertheless, she made sure that we had what was needed to participate. There were times when she would work extra jobs to pay for everything which at times was a hard for her. But she always seemed to make a way when there was none!
Mom, I will always love you for that. The one thing I feel we all will miss is her potato salad. At least Granny and them will be gettin some of it now.
Although “Big Red” has departed from this physical realm, she will always remain close and dear to all of our hearts. So I encourage each and everyone of you to be in good and joyful spirits as she would want nothing less from ya’ll. Remember she awaits all of our arrival to the gates of heaven in the next life, along with Granny, Dad, uncle Bob, auntie Chris and Troy. I don’t know about ya’ll but I can’t wait to get there with them all. I can already hear the music playing at the party in heaven. I thank the Lord for allowing me the chance to talk to my mom on Wednesday, to just let her know that I loved her and missed her very much.
In closing, I wanted to say that we should never take for granted the life we live today, for we never know when it will end. It is God’s will only. And always remember that the things in life that don’t change with time become either antiques or obsolete. Even though I’m not there in the physical, I am with you all in the spirit. Forever loving you, Mom.
Your son Jerry

To the Family, my condolences go out to you in your time of grief. To Barbara and I just know your soul hears me I embrace the special moments we had especially after you were hospitalized and made that miraculous recovery. I’ll never forget when you laid there so still… I held your hand and rubbed my thumb against against yours. You responded by doing the same thing to me. It was at that moment, I knew you were going to get up out that bed and back on your feet. Sure enough, before long there you were getting around again. I enjoyed visiting you at Stafford , talking, laughing, seeing your progress, your beautiful hand work,and how you decorated your room. Now that the Lord has called you to rest, I can only have sweet memories…Rest in Peace, Sweetheart
To the Family of Lovely Barbara;
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Barbara. She was such a sweet and caring room-mate to our mother, Pauline, at Stafford. It was such a comfort to know that Barbara always made sure that Pauline was well taken care of and she never failed to alert the staff when our Mom needed help. She always “lit-up” when our father, Phil would come in and talk to her. It was truly a joy to get to know Barbara.
We will miss Barbara’s beautiful smile, her ever-changing hair styles, her keen sense of humor and certainly her warm and compassionate nature.
Our sincerest condolences goes out to Barbara’s family and friends. She will be dearly missed.

My heart goes out to the family of Barbara and to all of those who knew her. May you rest in peace. I love you!
