Jayne, Gary, and the entire family - I had the pleasure of meeting Barry only a few times but know how close your entire family is and how difficult this must be for all of you. Words can't explain how sorry I am for your loss. It is not fair that such a wonderful young man with such a bright future has been taken from us, so young, but take solace in the fact that he is at peace, with his father, and will be looking over all of you, your memories of him will help this. Jayne, stay strong and know that many people are thinking of you and are keeping you and your family in our prayers! Tasha

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. Barry was a remarkably kind, generous individual, and I know his passing will leave a void in the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Lauran,
There are no words to express how deeply saddened I am that you have to endure such a heartbreak. I cannot imagine the pain you feel right now, and I do not know why such terrible things happen to such wonderful people. What I do know is that you are an extraordinarily strong person who will have the indefinite love and support of your family and friends in the difficult days that lie ahead. Your dignity and grace will forever be a testament to Barry’s memory.

Barry,
I had the honor of spending 25 years with you. I have fond memories of watching you on the beach riding the waves, fishing and the best was was when you took your last walk on the beach before your father passed away. I witnessed two men sharing wonderful moment and even though I could not hear what you were saying, it was understood the love the two of you were feeling toward each other. Today is my birthday, I give to you my day and will honor the man you are and the memories we shared. I love you always, your cousin, Jacqueline
