In Loving Memory
of Teresa Barnes

Our daughter Teresa Marie was killed in a house fire on Feb. 21, 1999.  She had just taken her State Board Exam for Nursing, and left a 3 year old daughter to mourn her.

From a little wide-eyed girl with a
dolly under arm..
To an adolescent full of wit and
charm
To a funloving teenager in T-shirts and     bluejeans..
To a mother, a nurse, now an angel  with full wings...
She has not passed away, on on to live with the Lord Jesus above,
To bask in the Glory and Sunshine of  His pure and everlasting Love.
She stood for strength and loyalty and  sincerity.
Stating the truth (sometimes we didn't want to hear!)
She always stood up for what she believed in,
Not intimidated by or dominated by opinions or by fear.
She gave to others beyond her duty or call..willing to listen, taking time to help, caring..a good example for us all.
Children and the elderly alike have been touched forever by her care and love.
Now God's rewarded her with a new home in the heavens above.
