My deepest condolences to the Barkley/Finney Families during your time of sorrow. I remember talking to her a few years ago when working on genealogy. What a wonderful bright soul. My prayers for your peace and comfort.
May God give the family peace and strength during this difficult time! Remonia was a good, funny woman with a sweet spirit. We worked together at MVA and she always had me laughing. She was there for me when my stepfather died, and I truly appreciated that. I will truly miss her!
