Dear Ms, Barnett, Teri and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. The last time I saw Barney was at Jerry Shea's wake and he told me that he lost his two best friends in the same year (Jerry and Babe) and he was right. I believe he is now at peace and in heaven with his two best friends. He will never be forgotten...I never thought that would be the last time I saw him ..but I hope one day I'll get to see him smiling like he always did...along with his very very best friends who I hope are smiling too...
