Jean Tucker was my friend, neighbor, and fellow DAR member. Jean often spoke fondly of her sister Barbara and her family, and through her, we felt we knew all of you. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Jeanie & Family, I talked to your Mother a couple of times while working on the Housman Family Genealogy. She was very proud of all of you and made it a point to tell me that if she was not here, to make sure you received a copy of the genealogy. I always enjoyed talking to her. Our deepest thoughts are with you during this time. Herbert & Carol Key, Greenville, Ms

I, too, never met Barbara personally, but I spoke with her and the children after her sister's death. Jean Tucker was a special friend through all her activities at First Baptist Church in Greenville and in Alice Bell Garden Club, and I miss her. I am so sorry to learn of Barbara's passing, and express my sincere sympathy to all members of her family. I know she and Jean are now laughing and talking mostly Jean, I suspect! as we mourn.
