I am blessed to have met Mr. Barnett at Bandera Rehab. He was always so positive, had a great joke, and imparted valuable wisdom to anyone he encountered. He touched so many lives while at the Rehab center. I am lucky to have met such an angel. He will be greatly missed. Sincerest of thoughts and prayers to the family.
