To the Barnes family: I had many good times spending the night with Sherry and getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Barnes. I have a lot of memories hanging out there. We had fun, and got into some trouble from time to time, as girls will do! Y'all better be back by.... and don't go .... Montez would check the mileage on the car to see how far we had gone! She was such a stinker! I don't think that Sherry, Kathy Smith and I will ever forget Milton showing up in line behind us at McDonalds when we had skipped school to get lunch! "What are y'all girls doing"... I also remembering having a lingerie shower there when I got married. Sweet folks! Will miss you Mr. Barnes! Rest in peace. Teresa
