Barbara

Our nephew Bubba's wife Barbara was killed in a car wreck about a month ago. The whole thing was tragic. On Friday, her Ford Focus was in our auto garage having a heater replaced. The mechanics had not completed the job at quitting time, so they stayed late and left the car out so that Bubba & Barbara could pick it up later that night.

Marvin drove her home and she showed him all that they had done with the house since they bought it. He brought home a pizza and we watched the World Series. Somewhere along the 7th inning, my cellphone rang. It was Marvin's brother Ronnie telling us that Barbara had been killed in a car wreck.

Everyone has been trying to deal with the loss of this sweet person. Barbara was one of the true sincere people in this world. I feel lucky to have known her for the short time I did.
