I am so sorry. I was just going through " Facebook " to try to find one of you. I wanted to know how your Dad was doing. Had I known, I surely would have paid my last respects and been there. Both your parents were two of the nicest people I knew. I loved your Mom--lol, was known as an adopted Daughter. Your Dad waa great, too. Please accept my deepest sympathy at this time, even though late. Wish one of you would keep in touch with me. I am on " Facebook " Loved your parents very much. Most sincerely, Barbara Arnoux
May they both rest in peace.

To the Barne,s Family.
So many great times spent with the Northfield Lions Club as well as family functions & gatherings that we were a part of. Sam & Barbara Thomas (Blaski) had so many growing years together. The Shoe Store, then the Bar along with so many Lions functions were such wonderful times for us with the Barnes Family.
Jesse, you are now at peace with Lois (Schultz, the nick name you gave to her way back).
Love,
Al & Willie Karsten

Uncle Jess -
You are the coolest Uncle ever, and I will miss you terribly. However, you are up in Heaven with Aunt Lois, Jesse, and Mom (Betty). So I know you are happy and safe.
I will cherish all the memories, and keep them safe in my heart for years to come.
Love you always,
Patti

What to say about someone I knew since I was a baby! So many memories that still enter my mind to this day. Jess Barnes provided me shoes as a child, Lee jeans as a teenager and the best lunches and tap in Northfield as an adult. Linda, I'll always remember the great parties at our houses! My warmest thoughts and prayers for strength go to the family.
