No mercy, swift justice for Nadine and Corin Lynn Barker for these financial vultures. I cannot even imagine the suffering, the panic, the fear and the physcial pain that Beatrice Barker was forced to endure at the end of her life.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine how much Beatrice Barker must have suffered at the hands of her very own son and daughter in law.
ReplyDeleteMay she rest in peace and may the perps never rest.
You're right on target, Anon 1, no mercy.
ReplyDeleteThank you to the hospital who reported the abuse of Beatrice Barker.

His own mother?
