Janie, one of my friends from home saw your dad's obituary and sent it to me. I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I know you will miss him. The thing that helped me the most when my parents died was knowing that I would see them again. It was such a strength and comfort to me. Hope it will be for you too. Take care, Sharon Vance Pennington (In case you didn't know my married name!)

RaNae and Dan Jessop here. We are friends of Doug's and proud to know the Barton family. It is such a wonderful thing when a family stays close to each other and to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We feel blessed to know Doug, and I am sure the rest of the family is just as wonderful. I had an Uncle Clyde Barton. He married my aunt Edith Jessop and they had a simply wonderful life together and with their son, Dale. You may not be related, but the name Barton has always meant good things to me in my experience. Very Finest Regards, RaNae and Dan Jessop
