Dear, dear, Dolly and family, I can't begin to express my deepest and most sincere sorrow and sympathy over Barry's passing. He always had a special cousin place reserved in my heart, no matter how long it may have been since the last time we spoke or saw each other. There are no words to ease your broken hearts or to stop the tears. I can only hope the comfort of knowing that I truly share your same sorrow, sadness, broken hearts, and tears at this, one of life's most challenging and difficult times.

Dolly, Chris and family,

We are sorry for your loss. My memories of Barry will always be in my heart. We spent alot of time at Mom and Dad's house growing up. I remember their bedroom upstairs and Patsy, Gina and I sneaking up on them--oh they screamed at us to get out of their room. Too funny! We always thought they had neat treasures hidden in their room--you know boys so different from girls. Anyways I shall cherish the memories.

May God Bless You, May he smile down upon you and give you strength. Dolly you know the love you had--hold that deep in your heart--when you're lonely and sad look there and you will feel him. Chris, hold deep all the wonderful things Dad taught you and all the love he gave you and pass it all onto your children in memory of him--he would be oh so proud. Nicholas and Caitlin, when you miss your grandfather just look in your heart he will be there and you will feel the love he gave you and his wonderful warm arms wrapped around you.

Love Cousin,
Marlene and David

Dolly, Chris and Family,

My heart breaks with sadness over Barry's death. The overwhelming feeling is too shocking to describe. I will miss his Cha Cha Honeys forever. I will pray for God to heal your family, wrap his arms around you and give you all the strength you need to carry you thru the up coming days ahead. Remember all the love Barry gave you and just look into your hearts when you feel lost and lonely.
I love you,

Dolly, I wish that there was something I could say, to ease the hurt that you are feeling right now. But I know that only time, and the love and support of your family and friends, will help you through the days ahead. Chris, your Dad was a great man, one you can be proud of. I'm sure the Dad you have become, is because of the example he set, and by how he lived his life. I hope that the memories that you all carry in your hearts of Barry, will help you to find Peace. I will Pray for Barry, and all of your family. God Bless you.
