Dear Debi and family.. it doesn't seem possible that Barry has been gone close to a year already. I guess you likely feel like it was just yesterday. Barry was a special man, active in his church and family, devoted husband, father, son and all who knew and loved him. I looked at him with amazement when he was with the children at Awana, because he appeared to enjoy acting like one of them at times. He was such an asset to Tally Ho in so many ways and is missed. My deepest condolences to you all,and bless you and his memory on this day when we would of been celebrating his birthday, but today we remember him with love. God Bless You and yours, and just remember, he is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our loving God, in no pain, and an angel watching over you all.. Love and Prayers,

God Bless You all Debi and family in your loss of Barry, was saddened to hear of his passing, but know that he is no longer suffering and is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I can see him now directing that heavenly Church Choir, and helping to direct the Church up there and his dedication to all the children there. He was a faithful and devoted person at Tally Ho and he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. My deepest sympathy. Would of liked to attend his memorial, but we were out of town, but know that our hearts and thoughts are with you during this difficult time..  Sincerely,
