Grandma I miss you every single day. You were always a fun grandma. I could tell you things and know my secrets were safe. You were my friend and called me your Angel. Now you are my Angel! See you soon but till then I will miss you !

Donna and I took Aunt Bernie and my Mother to Branson Mo. for a weekend. I'll never forget what it was like driving 600 miles with the two of them in the back seat.I'll miss you Aunt Chisel Chin.Bob
When I was growing up my second home was the Barter's home. Mrs. Barter was our babysitter growing up and she was always in a good mood and smiling. Carolyn, Marilyn and I ran around together through our teen years and I am sure we added a few worried lines on Mrs. Barter's face. But she was always there to support us. Such good memories, everyone that knew Mrs. Barter was blessed. She was one of the good ones. She will be missed by many.Sue (Madden) Tapscott
I remember when I was about 15-16 I wanted to drive so badly. Dad parked his bright red, stick shift, pickup truck on the side of the farmhouse. Brave Richard Barter got in the truck with me. Managed to get it to go around the house a few times before it shuddered and then died. I was petrified. Dad would blow a gasket if he found out. Well, just then Aunt Bernie pulled up. I had her park the truck where dad left it. Ah safe no harm done and dad would never know. He knew. I had left a little red stripe on the item I had hit. Otherwise no damage. Bernie saved my butt. Dad was laughing too hard to get mad.Bernie, you were loved and will be sorely missed.Niece, Linda Michaels
