It's been 16 years since you were taken from us. Wow...I remember the morning of July 13, 2007 like it was yesterday. You'd be FIFTY now and I wonder what you'd be like as a middle-aged (smile) man! Kiyuna is stepping out on her own and starting her college experience. It reminds me of the day that we packed you up and headed for the mountains and the University of the South. It makes me smile. Keep an eye on Omari. Love you....

I think of you often and have so many memories that make me smile, from White Castle hamburgers for you and your siblings...to your desire to carry a briefcase as a little boy who was selected to be part of a debate event at your school. Good memories of a "good human being." You are loved.

I never had the blessing of knowing Karlos in Atlanta, but he was a close friend at Goldsmith Elementary in Louisville. He moved away when we went to middle school, and my friends and I always kept him in our hearts. We missed him then, and we miss him now. Please know that our hearts from Louisville reach out to you in Atlanta.

I am sorry for your loss. It’s been many years, but I always remember growing up with you guys and all of the great memories we had on Johnston Way and at the park playing basketball.

I will always remember Karlos as the intelligent and caring friend I knew many years ago.

We will keep Karlos and all of you in our prayers.

Karlos:

Do you remember when Karen and I used to call you, "Shoney's Big Boy with Pretty Eyes"? (Smile) You always told us that we were crazy, but YOU were crazier.

Karlos, you left "The Dec," came to the mountains, impacted others, came back to "The Dec," and continued blazing your own trail! We just watched in amazement.

I was always so proud of all of you who were at Sewanee. All of you gave all of us hope. And you, Karlos. You gave all of us courage. You taught us not to let anyone run over us. You taught us that our MINDS were our most powerful weapons; I tell my students the same thing. I am forever blessed for having known you, 'Los. Thank you for everything.

To your family, I extend my sincerest condolences. I pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding be with you now and forever more.

'Los--tell Jamal and Karen that I said hello. You're still blazing trails.

Beauty am I Spirit am I
I am the infinite within my soul
I can find no beginning
I can find no end
All this I am!

Always,

July 21, 2007

For A Time…

Others are brought into our lives, For A Time,

Some, for many years, others, for moments sublime.

From each, there are lessons to be learned, and to be shared,

For A Time, with them, God, lovingly arranged, we be paired.

We need remember, this lifetime, is temporary and fleeting,

Others leave and enter our lives, with a good bye and a meeting.

Pathways converging and crossing, provide life’s valued amounts,

Destinations are uncertain, so it’s, indeed, the journey that counts.

We are blessed so by others, gratefully brought to us, For A Time,

As we have been brought to them, to make their lives better,

…if but only, For A Time…

From the Sexton Family

Johnathan and Ethelyn Barksdale and family

Larry and Beverly,
May God continue to give you comfort during this sad occasion. Yet, may you rejoice in that which he has given in preparation for times such as this.

Ethelyn Barksdale

Dear Beverly, Larry, and Family,
We wanted you to know that we are thinking of you, praying for you, and asking God to bless all of you. Jay and Burt send their condolences also.
