Auntie Barbie had such a wonderful, fun spirit! I pray the memory of her will remain with us all forever. I am lifting her family up in prayer today and sending my heartfelt condolences. Sincerely, Donna and David Jones
Barbie always had a smile and a hug when coming into the house.
A funny story or wise crack to make you smile as well.
It is a loss to have another of our family pass away leaving memories for those left behind.
We are happy to have those memories and will always remember her smile.
Love and healing to Mick and the rest of the family.
