Have never forgotten about PVT Barry Mayo. Was in Pontotoc, MS at the time. Saw the streets lined with flags. Cried many tears and still do. Wanted so much to attend his viewing and funeral but I was a stranger. I was so impacted by his death. Resonates with me to this day. I didn't know him or the family personally but I've never forgotten him.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Barry was one of our adopted soldiers through the adoptaussoldier.org program. We were so saddened to hear of his death. Barry was a true hero and will always be remembered with the huge smile that he had when he sent us his picture. Our sincerest condolences to his friends and family.

It is so difficult to understand why you were taken from your family that loved you so much so early. I can only believe that you lived more and gave more in your 21 years than many do in a long life span.
It is my prayer that we always celebrate and honor your life in the manner you so richly deserve!

I was Barry's battery commander during his first deployment to Iraq from March 2004 to March 2005. I was truly shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Barry was a fine soldier and did his job well. He was a quiet, humble person who never complained about being deployed or the job that was expected of him. He always had a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My life had finally started to come complete with you holding my hand. Our time together was precious and as i close my eyes every night I remember what u told me before your car pulled out of sight, "I love you baby, take care, and I'll be home soon and pick up were we left off!" Blowing me a kiss and waving good bye as i stood and cried not wanting you to go. Now i realize I am very selfish for wanting you here with me. But I know your in the best place you can be HEAVEN watching over us!! The pain and heartache i feel will ease one day but the love i have for you is forever embedded in my heart and soul!! Thank you for being my hero in so many differnet ways. You were always trying to protect me, whether it be a bad relationship with someone, keeping me from falling, or showing me your unconditional love and the ultimate sacfrice of giving your life for your family, friends, fellow americans, and myself. i will hold those memories we shared, the love we have, and your name up high!!! FOREVER IN MY HEART I LOVE YOU BARRY WAYNE!!!
To the family, my thoughts and prayers are always with you. if any of you need anything please feel free to call. Barry was so good to me and gave my life new meaning. i promised him I'd watch out for everyone and thats a promise I intend to keep.

What an honor it has been to have gotten to know this fine young man through the Soldier's Angels program. It broke my heart to hear of his death. I will cherish this short time I had Barry in my life and will continue to honor his life through sponsoring other soldiers. My life has been truly blessed having known him. Love and prayers always to his family. I have no way of making it to his funeral in person, but please know that I am holding you up in my prayers throughout the day.

To the Family of Pvt. Barry W. Mayo. I didn't know Pvt. Mayo but the moment I heard of his passing, I cried and prayed for him and his family. Today as I drove thru Ecru and saw all the US Flags that were there for Pvt. Mayo, I could not help but cry. Words cannot express my condolences. I thank you Pvt. Mayo. You're in the arms of the Angels now and although I didn't have the privilege of meeting you on earth, I know someday I'll meet you in heaven. May God Bless You and forever hold Your Family in his arms.

Barry was one of my 3 nephews and is deeply loved. He was my first nephew and he will be deeply missed. He always borrowed my car when he came home from leave and I never worried about him. I knew my car was safe with him; but even if he wrecked it, it would have been ok. That's what they make insurance for. I was also in the Army and know how it was to come home and be without a ride of your own. The last time he was home, he brought the car back with a full tank of gas and changed the oil himself. He also installed a new stereo because mine didn't work. He was talking about having the car painted and I told him he could just buy it. He said" I ain't gotta buy it" with his famous laugh. He knew Uncle Poncho would let him use the car any time he needed it. Barry, you'll be deeply missed and the car will never be sold. It's gonna be different without you,man and I can't wait to see you again in Heaven. I love you,man!!!

You were such a sweet handsome boy. I regret that I will not be able to see your beautiful blue eyes and smile one more time. I am so sorry for what happened to you. All that I cling to is the fact that you asked Jesus into your heart one day at a church in Guntown. We are all so saddened. May Jesus hug you tight for me. See you on the other side some day. I love you

It is with deep sadness that I am forced to honor the memory of another fallen Warrior. I ask the family and friends of Pvt. Barry Mayo to accept the offer of my most sincere and heart felt condolences. I hope that you know that your loss is shared by a grateful American. Most of whom you have not met and in all probability will never meet. Our nation sincerely appreciates the sacrifices of your patriot.

Freedom is not free; it is paid for by our heroes!

I know the pain parents feel when they loose a child. I lost a son 19 years ago. It is a pain that defies description. It is a pain that never goes away. It is a pain that will never end. It is a pain that is all consuming. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

May God Bless and keep you today, tomorrow and forever!

Rest in Peace Brave Warrior; you did your duty with great honor, distinction and in the highest Airborne tradition.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

March 8, 2007

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
