I will always keep Ms. Barabara (Nanny) in my heart. I knew her for only a short time but learned very quickly that she was something special, with her sweet smile, kind eyes, and sass that I adored! Sending lots of love and prayers to her sweet family from myself and the rest of 4 west.
Thoughts and Prayers to the family that during this difficult time you can reflect on all of your memories and know that she now rest in peace.
Love, cousin Bubba
