- Patricia Davis Barber Garvey had two wonderful daughters with Charles Evans Barber, Jamie Dee & Glinnis Gay Barber from Coalfield , Tennessee.
Not one day goes by that I don't think about my mom in some way. She was one of the funniest people I knew. She gave me some of the best stories I have (even after she died)! She also gave me this personality where I can connect with just about anyone (or anything, including wallpaper if necessary). I didn't always think I loved her but deep down, I now know I did. This year will be ten years since I've heard her say, "Jaaamiie Dee, this is your mama. Calllll me". I hope you read the hillbilly accent in that sentence. I miss her so much, but I see her in the mirror every day and in Glinis Lima when I walk into the office and she is sitting at Selig's front desk with a facial expression that looks just like Mom. We have a lot of her in us in very different ways but we both share her sass! I keep her alive with stories and laughter. She is why I love hard and live fully with this outgoing spirit. So, Mom, I love you and miss you. I hope we make you proud and that you find ways to laugh at us, even now! Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mothers, aunts, sisters, and caregivers. Your love, patience, hugs, and smile impacts a child, regardless of whether your blood runs through them.
Written by Jamie her eldest.
