Not sure what to say?

Such a tragedy, for someone so young and vital.
Many blessings to the family and friends of this very talented man.

My heartfelt sympathy and sincere respects to the John Barker family. I was well acquainted with him and have fond memories of working together at the Portland Terminal Railroad. I've wondered if there might be a photo of John someone in the family would be able to share- it's been years since seeing him. I'd be most grateful.
I wish you folks well and know you'll be comforted in the memories you hold of John.
Sincerely, Robert L. Tracy

Arlene,

We are so sorry to hear about John. May God be with you and keep you at this sad time. We will alway remember our first meeting with John (and later you) when we bought our lot on 54th Dr. Both you and John were special people and John now has God enjoying his wonderful sense of laughter and a great personality. May you find strength in God's arms that are around you now and will keep you safe. Take care and please give us a call when the time is right.
