To the Shepard Family,

Although no words can really help to ease your loss at this difficult time, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. I remember when Barry first started working for me when he was only sixteen. He was an excellent, dedicated worker who soon became a friend. I have now known him for over 25 years and will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May he live forever in our hearts and memories.
