Barren County Correction Center

MY FRIENDS

My friends do not cry for me
because I am in a better place
I've shed my pain and suffering
and the tears no longer fill my face.

I will miss each and everyone of you
and the special time we shared
I cherish those special memories
that really showed you cared.

My job brought me great joy
and I did it very well
But my father led me toward another position
to be a guardian angel to the jail.

So now I spread my golden wings
and enter the heavenly sky
But I will always be with you
morning, noon and night.

OUR FALLEN DEPUTY

Donna was a good friend
and we loved her so much
She'll always be with us
in our hearts she has touched.

She worked very hard
and did her best
While walking through the front door
she was put to the test.

There was always jokes, music and laughter
whenever she was around
I'm loud and I'm proud
she'd say in her voice so proud.

There was always big tales
that she would say
Sounded like Roseanne
as the laugh she made.

As we walk down the halls
of the Barren County Jail
She'll be looking down whispering
"I'm your Deputy Angel."

God took her from us early
so there'd be no more pain
She was ready to walk with Jesus
another angel heaven gained.

Nurse Becky was the kind of lady that when anyone spoke her name, only good comments followed. There wasn’t a person that she met or came in contact with whose lives were not enriched by her smile and kindness. There are no words to express how giving and loving she was. She knew just what to say to lighten your load and lift your heart. Her shoulders were broad and she was always eager to share them. The laughter that radiated the halls when she was here will be greatly missed. Her care and compassion had no boundaries no matter what color you wore behind these walls. She gave her heart freely no matter who needed it. Our door is darkened now that she is gone. We are lucky to have known such a spectacular woman and friend. Thank you, Becky for gracing our lives with your presence. We love you and will miss you greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.

With Love and Sorrow, All your friends at
the Barren Co. Jail

Deputy Gary Middleton was a very loyal and kind hearted man; he always had an encouraging word for everyone, along with good sound advice. He was quick to share a joke to lift you up when you were down. Not to mention the great cook he was, all of the deputies looked forward to the new dish he had prepared. We have been blessed to know him. He will truly be missed. All our hearts and prayers go out to the Middleton family.
                           We love you Gary.
