Miss Barbara was extraordinary. She was the most beautiful 39 year old women I ever met. She was loving, kind, classy, and never said a negative comment about anyone. When I was sad, she made me smile. If someone upset me, Miss Barbara gave me reasons to forgive them.
When I tell a dirty joke, she would smile and always act surprise and say “now Stacey that is not nice” . I would giggle and say “I know”.
She will be missed and a lot of Sales will be lost.
Love you with all my heart Miss Barbara
Brad & Stacey Abernathy ❤️
I will always remember her helping me at that little shop “Patios In Bloom”. She could find that just right gift that you were looking for and that something that you were not even looking for! She will be missed.
