Michael and Brandon, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mom. She will always hold a special place in your heart and mine. Memories are special and I'm glad she is a part of mine.
Barbara was one of my patients. I found out that she had cancer when she came in a month or so ago. I had no idea. She was always so friendly and we always had good conversation and laughs. I will truly miss seeing her. I am so sorry for your loss of such a spirit filled soul.

To the love ones of Barbara Dean, sincere condolences. I knew her and her family from a child when her family were living next door to my grandparents, Jim and Enthy (Granny) Robinson on So. 4th Street in Opelika. She always wore a smile on her face and was very loving. Leon and Donald, I remember you guys also. Barbara Dean will truly be missed but Acts 24:15 is so encouraging. Please read it from your bible. Much, much love and fond memories. R.I.P (RESURRECTION IN PARADISE) JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!
