Dearest Barry, we're sorry we never had the chance to meet properly in person, but we will never forget all the times you graced us with your beautiful singing voice over video calls. Thank you Barry, for all the love, adoration and care you showed our Mum and Momo. We can never love her like you did, the love you had was special, but we will love her and comfort her and cherish every moment we get with her, and ensure we talk about you often, sharing your memory.
