To the families Wilson/Fuller; Barbara's daughters,her grandchildren, her mother, sisters and brothers. Life is a journey and Barbara's has come to a sweet end. I thank God I was abe to see and visit with her in August 2011. I marvelled then at how beautiful and well cared for she was. I marvel now that she (after such a long illness) reached her three score and ten, plus one....(20-20-20-10, +1)
During her life on earth Barbara was a light for many people whose lives she touched, and I'm sure for many who heard of her..What a legacy to leave behind.
Now, I know she is not resting in peace, but rather she is dancing all over heaven right this moment.
Love to you all,
Your niece/cousin

My sister, Barbara, was an extraordinary woman of God. She was my best friend was the inspiration in my life that led me to a have a spiritual relationship with the Lord. I witnessed the many miracles of healing and prophecies that God performed through her. I know she is with Him and I'm going to miss her.
