May the Lord give you strength as he takes Barney to be with him. It was a delight to see you two together and the little smiles you shared at our periodic family gatherings. You and Barney made such an effort to comfort Dad at the time of Mom’s death and pray that family and friends will be one of the ways the Lord comforts you. The faith that both of you witnessed at our
family gatherings was uplifting to us all.
We value the limited time we had with Barney.
With love, Catherine and Steve Graef
Barney will always be remembered as a wonderful example of a great Christian-our family thought fondly of both Barney and Joanna. Bob and Melanie English
