Dear Barbin Family,
I feel like I know you and the Davis Family in the third person, as if I read about you in a great novel. My sister Margie used to watch all of your kids when your families lived next door to each other and she always had the most hilarious stories to tell of all your children. You wouldn't know me and I probably wouldn't recognize your family anymore either but please know that your loss is being shared and carried by others no matter how distant.

Brad, I didn't have the chance to meet Bryan, but from the smile on your face and the timbre of your voice when you spoke of him at our recent gathering, it was evident what a special and loved son he is.

I wish the service was a day later - I would have been there. You know the brotherhood is behind you one hundred and ten per cent.
