Barbara was a very special lady, I was honored to have her for a sister-in-law for 32 years. Her life has not been cut short. She has planted many seeds that will continue to grow for years to come. She was the most faithful and truthful person I have ever known. I always loved and respected her as a sister-in-law. But after hearing her teach Sunday School I relized what a great christian lady she was. We will miss her but know one day that we will see her.

Barbara Bradley was a good friend to many of us. Her Christian walk was a great example for many, Christian and Non-Christian alike. Her loyalty to Christ showed in her zeal for life, always ready to help a friend or stranger. Opinionated yes, but you always knew where she stood; for the truth. A great source of knowledge because she put her all into what she did, whether bible study, VBS, finances, or family. At first thought, we may think her life was cut short, but a person is not gone as long as they live on in our hearts. Barbara will live on here for generations to come. A strong courageous woman of faith, has graduated to what the rest of us can only hope for, a Saint with a living legacy of faith and love. We have been TRULY BLESSED.

As a friend of Robin's, I have known Barbara for a long time. I always knew she was a special lady. To see how many people turned out for the family night, waited in line for hours, came to the funeral only reiterates that fact. She was truly loved by all who knew her. I will continue praying for Bill, Robin, Stephen and Chrissy, Evelyn, Beverly, Sandy and all who knew and loved her. As a Christian, I know I will see her again in Heaven one day and what a day that will be!

What I will remember about Barbara is her smile. I don't think I ever saw her when she wasn't, she was a sweet, caring, hard working christian. When she touched your life, she left a lasting impression. God bless you Bill, Robin and the rest of the family. You are all in our prayers. We can have peace knowing she is where she can shine forever
