To the family of Teddy Barker. Sorry to hear about yours loss. In this time of sorrow I hope you take comfort in the following scripture found at Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living are conscious that they will die, but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all". I hope this scripture brings you comfort that Teddy is no longer suffering.

Art and I send our sincere sympathy. Buddy was such a special person -- I had the privilege of working in his office for several months when I was just out of high school, and I found him to be a kind and caring gentleman. He welcomed me as part of the family when Daddy married Ruth. I cherish the memories of those early years witnessing Buddy as a loving husband and father.
