Sympathy and love to family and friends. 
Major Smith.

Would like to express my sincere condolence on the passing of Jeanne Bar.

We were so sad to hear of the passing of (great) Aunt Jeanne, but we are very thankful that we were able to see her over the summer at the reunion.  As my Dad mentioned in his entry, Aunt Jeanne held a special place in our family too.  I have fond memories of visiting Aunt Jeanne and Uncle John at the house when I was much younger and of course, seeing them at the Barr reunions.  We will be praying that God will grant you all peace during this difficult time.  God Bless!

My heart breaks and goes out to the family. I met her through my amazing daughter in-law Becky. I was introduced to Becky's Grandmother and felt at ease talking to her. I could tell she was loved and cherrished. I feel honored to have met her. My deepest sympathy to the family!

Cindy and All Your Family,
    Your have our sympathy in the passing of your Mother and Grandmother.  The Facebook and the Guest Book comments tell the story of a wonderful lady that you have all been fortunate to know and love.  May your memories give you peace.

When I try to describe Granny B to someone who wasn't lucky enough to have known her, I don't know where to begin. Tough but full of grace. Loving & Caring yet stern. A powerful woman with a gentle touch. How incredibly fortunate we all are to have had someone like her to look up to. I will miss her terribly but I have memories to last my lifetime.

Although my heart is broken, I feel so fortunate that I had Granny for almost 40 years. Her values have shaped me in a million ways. She has served as a constant reminder of how to live my life, and in her death, the values that she has helped to instill in me will continually remind me of where I came from, where to go, and how to get there.
Granny would often say that she couldn't worry too much about her children or grandchildren because she and Grandpa Barr had given us the roots we needed to make good decisions. Indeed, she was right. They provided so many of us with the foundations to do whatever we want and to know where home always is when we found  what we wanted wasn't as glorious as it appeared to be. 
My memories of Granny will always be with the deepest adoration.

Becky, Cindy, Joe, Dink, and Lisa our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Aunt Jeanne was always something special with our family.  She shared her exact birth date with my dad, April 14, 1925.  Your mom and dad stood up with my mom and dad in Richmond, Indiana on February 8th, 1947 when they were married.  Becky, I've always heard you played the piano at their wedding.  We were so blessed to see Aunt Jeanne this summer at the reunion.  We will be joining you on Thursday and Friday.  I know she is going to be missed but I know Uncle John is smiling to have his best friend by his side once more.  God Bless.  Forrest and Bonnie Barr

Prayers to the entire family. Thank you for trusting me to care for your mother, she will be missed.

Thank you Grandma for never making me feel like the "step kid.  I never felt more at home, than I did when all the family was together. You and Grandpa Barr made the family.  I will miss you terribly.
