"Mac, so sorry to hear about Barbara we didn't find out about it till today Jan. 4th.
You and your family will be in our prayers.
            THE HOLSUM GANG!

My thoughts and prayers are with Mac and your family during this difficult time.

Barbara was a dear friend to me, always had a cup of coffee handy when you needed it. She and Clifton were good to me and my family, my kids loved going to her house. Even after we left Greenwood we kept in touch, I will miss Barbara. My God Bless your family with loving memories and strength during this time. Sincerely, Linda Richards & Family

Barbara, Clifton and Chris were our neighbors for many years.  I knew I could always talk to Barbara and Clifton.  She was such a special person to all of the Pryor girls.  They were the first folks I wanted to see after coming home to visit during the many years teaching overseas.  We could talk together and laugh.  Barbara was such a  kind, loving  person.  I remember one day she saw me sitting out on the steps crying, when my Father was so ill, and we were so worried.  She made things seem a bit  easier for me then and always.  She was so good to Jane, Beth, Linda and I and we loved her so much.  Even though we were much further away when they moved I could always call and chat with Clifton and Barbara and they did not seem so far away.  Our prayers are with Clifton, Chris, Debbie and the Family.  God Bless and Comfort you during this time and keep you safe.  We love you all.  Blanche, Jane, and Brenda Pryor

What I will remember most about Aunt Barbara is she was like a mother hen. She took care of Clifton, then Chris, then Chris and his family, from time to time she took care of me and my sister. Her house was always a good place to be. Rarely was there a tv on and if it was it was not on very loud. We would play with their dog "Tubby" and usually ended up in her bedroom playing or laying on her bed watching tv. Aunt Barbara had excellent taste in everything, jewelry, clothes, dishes, you name it. I have a painting she gave me hanging above one of my beds. One day she just asked me if I wanted it..she thought it looked like me. I have a few other items I will cherish forever. I will remember all the good memories...some of my happiest childhood moments took place in their Greenwood Home. What an example to set for each of us, a marriage of about 64 years!! Barbara, I miss you but will see you again! Love you!!

"Our hearts go out to Clifton, Chris and family at this time and in the days ahead. May Barbara's memory forever be for a blessing."
