I  miss you very much, It's very hard to pass your home on Dupre now.  Hope you are hearing my prayers late at night.  So much has happened since you left to be with the Lord. Love you, tell Uncle Mario I said hello

We remember our happy days in Europe with Barbara, Louis, Elsa and Kenneth. Parents Al and Mary and kids Linda, Paul and Theresa had such good adventures with the Radcliff family. Love from the LaCoste family of the Frech Quarter.

I love you lady and will miss you dearly.

Rest in peace Ms. Barbara. I always admired your beauty and know that it will continue to shine. We reminisced about the days growing up in Ms. Brown's company. Our mothers connected us as family. I pray that Elsa, Kenneth, Mario and Merlin find comfort as they grieve your loss. You will be missed.

It was a joy knowing Barbara and I am so sorry to hear of he passing !  Our love to you all .

God BLESS The Family BE STRONG IN THE LORD .

Our yearly "Katrina Survivors" porch party won't be the same without you. We will miss you, my friend.

May God dwell with you and your family thru your loss and guide you along lifes path.

In this time of need and comfort, when the grieving are weak, they're also powerful. Gain strength through God's promises. (2 Cor 12:10)

Barbara was truly a character and I have so many fond memories of her.  I am grateful I was able to spend some time with her just before her death.
She will be missed.

Vivian Thompson
An Old Friend

Know that I am with Our Beloved Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary, and All of my loved ones and ancestors. I extend the overwhelming joy I feel to all who love me, and know that I am with you all ALWAYS.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
