Autumn officially began Tuesday. This is a date Jan Barber would have reminded us about, if she was still writing.
Did not learn of her death last week until after the bulk of this column was written.
Became acquainted with Jan when she entered BCLC several years ago.
She directed the singing for Judy Starks and I at BCLC for some time.
Always enjoyed the news she wrote and I was pleased that in latter time, she asked that her items be attached to mine.
Several of her family members and friends gathered last Friday at Bethany Cemetery in Slate Springs for her service.

Everyone enjoyed the fellowship meal at church Sunday.
Due to Covid-19, it has been several months since our last meal together.
Those elected to attend the associational meeting from church included Nancy and Benny Barefield, John and Rita Leachman.
The Leachmans state the Tupelo Daily has discontinued delivery to their home by carrier.
To my knowledge, this is the last area of the county that was receiving the Tupelo Daily Journal by carrier.
Area people now only receive that paper through regular mail or at boxes in county towns.
