Monticello, AR Wednesday, October 1, 2025 I am so sorry to hear of Barney's passing. I know you are heartbroken. Barney was a good person with a great personality and will be genuinely missed.I worked with Gen at Burlington for several years. I miss her. I always loved to watch Gen and Barney dance together. They were great friends of ours and I loved them both.
May God bless and comfort you. ~ Sherry
