I met Barbara over 20 yrs ago when Nikki and I started working together. Then we got in a financial bind and Barbara took me, my husband and 2 cats in. We had the best times together, laughing, cutting up. She was a hoot to live with. I am going to miss her.
She had a very loving and generous heart. Now she is in the arms of God.
RIP Barbara, I love you.
Nikki, Mike and your family, we are praying for peace in your hearts. God has got this!
If tomorrow starts without me..
If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you! And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too; but when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind; all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I’d say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
When I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, He said, “This is eternity, and all I’ve promised you. Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last and since each day’s the same way, there’s no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn’t do. You have been forgiven, and now at last you’re free. So won’t you come and take my hand, and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right here, in your heart.
RIP my sweet friend. Barbara and I were friends at VSC many years ago. She was in my wedding in July 1965. We lost contact for many years and was able to reconnect on FB. So many sweet memories. Ms Ruth and Mr. Cecil were the nicest people..loved them so!! Until we meet again……Love, Amy
Although I only had a short time to get to know Barbara, I know she will be missed so much by her dear daughter Nikki and son-in-law Mike, along with her two grandsons, Austin and Tyler. Although she will be missed So much, I am thankful that she is still longer suffering and is in the arms of Jesus. Love, Anita Stratton
Tomorrow will be one week since you left us. I do realize that you are not reading this, yet for some reason it gives me peace to write to you. I thought I was prepared, I thought I knew what needed to be done, what should be done, what you would want. But no, I am not. I have no idea where the week has gone and can not seem to remember much of its contents. I love you, I miss you. That is all I know. You left a legacy in us that we will carry with pride!
