The Barnes Ervin union was established January 1, 1982. Samuel and Gloria met in high school, dated in college and the love story began in their hometown of Jackson, MS. To this union, two daughters were born Ashley Jenelle and Rian Nycole. Our favorite family past time is travelling, spending time with family and friends, enjoying good music and delicious food. Our family motto is based on a quote from Ruyard Kipling; "For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack." We believe in a life well lived. This site was created so that we can share our lives, our heritage and our future.
