Mrs. Barnes, Fred and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Barnes has always had a special place in my heart. I can remember my Mama telling me as a young child that he helped save my brother Neal (Donnie) after his horrible car accident. Mama said that Dr. Barnes, even though he was suffering from a kidney stone, rushed to the hospital to help my brother. I have tears in my eyes as I write this. I'm sure many others have similar stories to share of how greatly he effected so many lives. My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this time.
