Ralph and Ann Snak - New Years Eve 2007

With love and Sympathy, The Barry Family - Matt, Andra, Lindsay & Liam

August 13, 2008

To the Snak Family from an "honorary" branch of the Snak Family Clan -- the Barry Family -- May you find comfort in knowing that Mr. Snak was loved by SO many, including me and my family. We always appreciated how we were welcomed into the family by Mr. and Mrs. Snak and how we were invited over for special occasions. We loved hearing Mr. Snak's life stories, whether it was about him growing up in Pittsburgh, or whether it was about being in the Navy, or whether it was about his romance with Mrs. Snak when he was courting her 'back in the day'! We all share in your loss and he will be missed deeply by us. Lindsay and Liam will miss their special "Grandpa Snak". I loved when he shared his flowers with me. He would bring them over to my house for me to plant. I am glad for all the good memories we've made through the years with the Snak Family and will cherish them for years to come.
One day, if I get into heaven, I know he'll be there, and greet me with a kiss hello like he always did and say "Hi Andr-E-a"! We love you, Mr. Snak!
