Mr. Barnett and Amy,
What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady. The few times I met Mrs. Barnett, she was lovely. I can imagine her in prime being the gracious hostess and most vibrant personality in the room. Take peace in knowing she is now at peace with herself. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.
