   Barbara Walton May - December 5, 1935 ~ November 9, 2007
I received word of Barbara May's death today, November 9, 2007. What a loss! This lady was the epitome of grace and kindness; and all who knew her will mourn her death. Barbara was a person who was more concerned with others and their welfare than she was of her own tribulations. If everyone had modeled their lives after Barbara Walton May the world would be a wonderful place in which to live. Love thy neighbor was her creed and she definitely was a lady of love. I will miss your beautiful smile, Barbara. Rest in God's arms. (submitted by Harriet Lane)

   Loyd Wright Burlison - June 24, 1942 ~ November 22, 2004
There are so many things that I could say about this beautiful man, but words are so inadequate. He came into my life when I least expected it, but it was as if we had always been together. Our time together was so short, but I will always treasure the time we had. He was loved and accepted by my sons and all my family immediately as they could see how happy we were and they were glad for both of us. Love, Irma (submitted by Irma Burlison)
