To Krista and the Barbara Watts Family: Your Mom was my Sister in Christ and John and I would sometimes pick her up and/or take her home from church. Glad I was available to be one of her caregivers after her heart surgery. Your Mom was a shining example of a good and faithful servant of the Lord. She was a committed Prayer Warrior and I want to thank her and your entire family for all the cards through out the years. Several scriptures come to mind..John 14:1-6, Psalm 23, and Revelation 21:1-4. I treasure all my memories with Barbara, especially the hair washing one. God bless you all. Love, Linda and John Parmer from the Gathering Church
Thank you Linda and John for your kind thoughts.
Barb had to be one of the finest human beings this world has ever known. She was loved and respected by all who really knew her. She was more than a friend. She was family. Barb showed what the love of Jesus Christ is truly about. I’m anxious to see her again someday when she has no pain or sickness in her Glorified body. I know she’s celebrating her start to an eternity with our Lord and Savior. I’ll miss your million dollar smile and Heavenly disposition. I’m a better man for knowing you Barb. I love you.
This is such a wonderful heart-felt tribute – thank you Greg!
