Sincere condolences for the loss of one so special in your life. Know that the smiles, laughter, and kindness Barry shared with others will be forever remembered by all who ever met him. May his memories forever warm your hearts and bring smiles to your faces, even behind tears shed. Know that death was never God’s plan (Gen. 1:28; Rom. 5:12) so he gives us hope; the hope that loved ones will be resurrected (Acts 24:15) to life forever on a paradise earth, (Ps.37:11,29) as God intended from the beginning. Cherish the hope and the fine memories of your beloved Barry.

Barry gave me the best gift a person could offer..true friendship. We laughed, we cried, we argued and offered each other advice and commiserations. No one will be able to replace him in my heart. Rest easy now my dear friend.
