So sorry she was such a great lady. She will be missed by everyone who knew her
Aunt Lou - just a note to let you know Donna and I are thinking of you.
Louise, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember all the Barker Family Reunions held at your houses on Plum Run. I can remember the 3 of you attending church at Flaggy Meadow Baptist Church. Inez (Barker) Jolliffe was my grandmother. Pauline was my mother. And of course, Naomi and Arnold Hart were my great aunt and uncle. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Olive. I loved you sweet lady.
