She will be deeply missed by my family and I. I always enjoyed seeing "Grandma" Barker on Christmas Eve and the 4th of July get togethers. She was a great person and had a wonderful smile and personality! I will always remember her. Rodger and Carol Jensen We were saddened to read about your sweet mother. We just buried Dad Jensen on July 7th. We know this is a tender time and we express our most sincere thoughts of sympathy and love to all of you. I remember when your Mom brought you into Penney's years ago and she told me you wanted a hairdo like mine (one of those beehive styles). We love your family and hope you feel Heavenly Father's comforting, loving arms around you to give you the peace, calm and strength to endure and adjust to your loss. Love, Rodger and Carol
