Not sure what to say?

Had great times working with him at George Jackson Mental Health. A genuine friend and a great educator.

So in times like these I really think back a lot on your words of wisdom. I know you've been gone a long time. It still hurts you're one of the kindest people I ever knew.

Dr. Barnett was the Best Dr. My husband and I both were his patients. We loved him dearly and he is missed. We are sending our warmest condolences and prayers to his family.

Not a day goes by that memory of your wisdom, words or advice come to my mind. The caring comfort of your voice that I carry in my heart will always remain. At this time of year you are even more so in my ear encouraging my to push through. Nearly 20 years you cared for me, yes, I was a patient, but you were more like a father. Still keeping you alive using you advice to me help others, I'm paying it forward and I hope this would make you proud. Thank you Dr. Barnett and thank you to his...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. We all miss you.

So thankful to have known you and worked for you. You are still the greatest in my eyes and forever will be in my heart. I am one of many who find you irreplaceable. Love to you and your family always.

Each time I have remembered Dr Barnett this past year I have asked for comfort and peace for you, his family. A smile creeps across my face to remember his version of humor and that gleem/glint he got in his eye as well as that smirky grin. I miss him, but I know you miss him more. I am glad I have confidence I will see him again.
