Dear Barbara, Just heard about your loss, I am so very sorry. If you would like, I can give a gallon of blood platelets through the American Red Cross in honor of your Mother. With love, respect and fondest memories.
Barbara --
Am so sorry - just found out about your Mom. She was an absolute joy to work with and was always nice to everyone. She and Ms. Edith are together again giggling ... like they did on all those day trips we took. Love to you and yours ... she will be greatly missed.
love to all of you .... Debi & Mike Hottel
May your memories bring a smile to your face. Wishing you comfort and peace found through our savior, Regina Zunker and family
I grew up around Burdette and knew the Chafin family.
I was saddened to hear about your recent loss. I did not know Mrs. Chafin personally, but I am sure she was an inspiring, wonderful lady. Please accept my sympathy during this difficult time. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Barbara and family: I have such fond memories of our growing-up days in Luxora. Our families used to go to the Mountain View area to vacation. I don't know how many times we did that, but I remember one year in particular when all of us had such a good time being together.
We also enjoyed being members of our church in Luxora--lots of Sundays and especially Vacation Bible School days.
My thoughts are with all of you as you remember your dear mother, Mary, along with your father, Gerald, and brother Jerry.
