Mrs. Barbera,
Words cannot express how much you’ve meant to the Greenhill church family, and to my family. You were our teacher, supporter, mentor, and friend. I take solace in the fact that my children were able to receive the same guidance, mentorship, and spiritual teaching I received as a child. The lessons I’ve learned while participating in those Sunday school and VBS classes will carry me beyond the church and into my daily life. Matthew 25:21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!'” He has called you home to lead angels.
Lead them with grace. We Love you and will miss you dearly.
Cousin Barbara you will be missed by everyone but know that you will always be missed by me. You were always a special person to me. I loved seeing your beautiful smile, and always listening to the funny stories you would tell about your adventures with Aunt Juanita. I loved the way you honored your mother and made sure she was always wherever she wanted to be. She adores you.
Thanks for all the special memories we’ve shared over the years, I’m so blessed to have had you in my life. You’ve left behind a beautiful legacy with your children, grands and the special great grandson. we will take care of Thomas.
Rest in peace and power my sweet cousin.
Love, Jackie Scott Jackson

My dear cousin Barbara is one of a kind, beautiful, gentle, kind, polite, loving, intelligent, caring, compassionate, and I can go on. Your departure from this earthly world leaves us greatly sad but your transition into the heavenly brings us comfort. You will be tremendously missed. However the impact you had on each of us will live in us forever. All of my thoughts and prayers are extended to all of your family and friends. God bless you and your rest in peace! Love you!
Barbara was simply a delightful person to be around. A true woman of faith and integrity. Her constant care for her Mother, Aunt and Uncle was exemplary. She was a true treasure for the Body of Christ at Green Hill Baptist Church, where she served selflessly in multiple capacities. Kindness and love were her forte.
May the grace of God rest upon this Family and community in the coming days.
