Mrs. Barbara Ann was another aunt or big sister to me and my siblings.  She was one of my mom's best friends.  I am so sorry to hear about her loss, and even sorrier that I did not have an opportunity to pay my respects to Uncle Mel and all my "cousins" at her homegoing service.  Rest assured that she is in Heaven, having earned her wings long ago.  I will miss her and I know that my siblings will also.  All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Rest in peace, friend.

Love,
Gloria Milton, Julie Jensen, Paula Milton, Sylvester Milton, Mary Hawkins, and our children.  

To the family of Sis. Preston,

You have my deepest sympathy and I will pray your strength in The Lord.  Sis. Preston was a strong Woman of God who did not hide who side she was on, The Lords Side. The Heavens rejoice with the presence of Sis. Preston and I rejoice with the memory of Sis. Preston.

Love to you all, Sis. Gwen Rose

Sending  our love and prayers to our family. We have lost a great aunt and friend. She was always worrying about what she could do the help out others. We will miss her dearly, but God knows best. We are keeping you all in our prayers. Mel keep the faith we love you all. May God bless you all

Praying for the family during your time of bereavement. Barbara was always a very sweet and caring person.  I remember she and Melvin all so well.  I use to visit their home with Dee many many summers ago and they treated me as if I was there own child.   She always had a smile on her face and always spoke about her love for the Lord. 
 Family take courage in knowing she lived a well spent Christian life.

Barbara Ann was the sister I never had.  We grew up on Four Corners and went to Elementary and High School together, she was definitely the  brains in this partnership and always helped me with my homework.  We stayed in touch throughout our adult lives and she was the only one to visit me when I lived in England.  I will dearly miss her always encouraging phone calls, and  I know that she is in heaven with the Angels!  Our deepest condolences to Melvin and Family.
