Not sure what to say?

I am adding this in behalf of my late father, Dr. Gwynn ("Glen") Barrett who was a good friend of Dr. Barnes during the latter's tenure as a history professor at BSU. My Dad passed away in Arizona in 2006 after his retirement from the Boise history Dept in 1992. Dad would have wanted me to share this.

Dear Brandee and Becky. So sad to read of the passing of your parents. We lived across the street on Summit Ridge and were very fond of your parents. We enjoyed vegetables from your dads garden and had so many laughs with them.
We live in Boulder Co now. Call if you are in the area. Warmly Dave and Sheila Robinson

Have not seen you guys for some time but today my thoughts are with you as I seen the announcement of your Dad's passing. Although I did not know him, I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you as you grieve his loss and rejoice in his life. God Bless. Hope we get to see you soon.

John was a gracious gentleman and it was my pleasure to know him and Shirley as neighbors ar Ten Mile Greens. They have been missed at TMG.
