To Mr. Leon, George, Jeffery and Forrest and all the Hughes family,
Ms. Foxie was a beautiful woman who loved you all. She was always bragging on her sons and had so much love in her heart for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Ms. Foxie often told me about her love for GOD as well. She was so special and had such a funny sense of humor and loved life.
You are all in our prayers during this sad and difficult time. No matter how old they are it seems, we are never ready to say goodbye.
The Ivey Family

God’s blessings and our best wishes to the Barnett-Hughs family. It has been such a joy knowing her. During our many conversations, we shared our faith and love of our heavenly Father and His Son, our Lord, Jesus. We believe all of us will be together again in a much better place. Foxie, you are deeply loved. Be seeing you!

Dear Hughes Family,
Heartfelt sympathy for the family during this time of sorrow. Didn’t know this beautiful lady and I bet her personality would go along with her nickname “Foxie”.
I’m sure you have the fondest memories of “Foxie”, some you can look back on and have the best laughs. God bless you all.

I am sorry to hear about Foxie. May the God of all comfort be with you. I have often found comfort in the thought found in Revelation 21:1-5. God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death, mourning, and pain will be no more….. I pray you will find comfort as well.
