We send our sincere condolences to the family. Mrs. Barnwell will be greatly missed. She always welcomed us as we enjoyed her slightly sweet lemonade and dainties. Her conversations were always stimulating and full of wisdom. Her love, strength, kindness and smiles will always be remembered. I recall the lovely roses and other flowers she tended with your father - Dr. Barnwell. They were often seen during the poolside chats in the backyard. She was indeed a lovely rose in this world. May you continue the legacy of love and caring. May you receive strength and the warmth of God's embrace. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". (John 14:27) Teresa Murrell Huddleston & family

Sweet, beautiful Mary. Rest well dear friend. We'll deserved rest. Vickie Moseley Jones

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
