In memory of
Barbi Barnett
From Jerrie Barnett Whitlow
heart
Barbi was my precious sister-in-law; we were more like sisters. My brother loved her so much; so did I. She loved life until she became ill - and she STILL laughed whenever she had a chance. She was finally on dialysis three times a week, until her body just shut down. It’s too late for her; just SAVE THE OTHERS!🙏🏼
