  3. Barbara was one of my favorite residents of Tarboro Nursing Center. I always stopped to talk to her when I visited my Mama. She never failed to make an effort to talk to me and we usually had some laughs together. I would ask her if she was my friend and would always get a resounding Yeah. She was truly one of God’s special children. I know everyone there will miss her. Condolences to her family. Patricia Harrell

  4. I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Barbara Ann Brown. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer

  5. My name is Earlie Barnes, I am a nursing instructor at Edgecombe Community College and we had the pleasure of caring for your loved one, Miss Barbara, while at the nursing home. We will miss her when we return and offer you our prayers. Respectfully submitted, The Practical Nursing students & faculty of ECC
