July 21, 2017

Chucky,

We laid your BODY to rest almost three years ago; but today your SOUL can rest also.

Thank you for keeping us all strong and together as a family while we waited patiently for what some would call closure.

But in this life, we'll never truly have closure because we'll never have you back.

So all that we could seek was a little piece of justice; and today we were given just that.

It's amazing how we can all still see and feel your presence and spirit through your legacy; which are your children Scooter, Crystal and Maurice.

"Now You Can Rest"!


Your baby sister always,

Pat

Hello, Uncle Chucky, it's your niece, Breanna. It's so hard to believe it's been a year already since you were taken from us. It's even harder to believe that you're not here anymore. I miss you sooooo much, and I pray that you, Uncle Skip, and Grandaddy continue to watch over us. Forever in my heart, love always, Breanna.

Today marks the day one year ago that we last spoke. I sent a text to our family members at the exact time that we said our last good-bye!

I miss our daily talks and your wonderful smile. I constantly look over our text messages that we exchanged on that dreadful day. You meant a lot to our family. It's so hard to deal with but I know we will see each other again. I love you and miss you much!

Love Always, your baby sister Pat

Brittany (niece)

August 16, 2015

I cannot believe that its been a whole year now!!!!! We really miss having you around to share the most outrageous stories (that probably weren't true anyways lol), we miss you walking up to complete strangers and carrying on FULL CONVERSATIONS because of your extrovert personality, and your contagious smile and laugh. You have not been forgotten one bit and we LOVE you!!!!! Grandaddy is probably still heated with you because you didn't give him a chance to rest peacefully a whole 5 months before you followed him HOME! We miss you, Grandaddy and Skip and love you all always!!!!!!

I am very sorry to hear about the lost of Mr Kevin (Chuckie) Barnes,Sr . In life, we have so many questions and sometime questions are never answered. We ask the question, "Lord, why so much pain"? It seem like we don't get an answer, but God know our about our sorrow and the pain. In that, God has an answer and He gives us the strength to endure during difficult times in our lives. God is the answer. Continue to look to Him, remember God never fell to keep HIs promise. Continue to celebrate the life of the depart and he will always be remember.
