Mrs. Barton was a very unique woman being a healer and a psychic, an artist, a person who could play the piano by ear, could rhyme anything, had a beautiful singing voice and was intelligent and witty but probably most of all she was a loving grandparent and friend who gave counsel and inspiration to most who knew her. She will live in our hearts forever.
