Dear Brooke and Billy,
I am a friend of Beverly's. I have never met either one of you, but my heart goes to you all, especially Brooke. This is a lot for someone you age to go through. I pray to the Lord to give you the strength you need. Please keep in mind that we are all here for you whenever you need us.

Brooke, Billy, Beverly:
Robbie leaves a legacy that you may all be proud of. He was dedicated to caring for his Mom, Kay, and brought her to the Church of All Nations reunion last June.
When we visited with Sarah Platt recently in Boston she said that when she was in the hospital last year, Robbie was her nurse and he was "wonderful' as her nurse.
These are good memories!
We will all miss him.

Dear Brooke, Billy, Beverly,
My heart goes out to the three of you, my prayers will be with and for you. I knew your father to be a wonderful, kind, sensitive, loving man. His care for his mother and his love for his two beloved children reveal the goodness of his heart. My prayer for you all is that you are enabled by God's grace to remember and internalize the good, let go the sad, and become the best you can be. God bless and heal you. with love, Rev. Karen Bryant

Dear Brooke & Billy: My sincere sympathies are with you and Aunt Bev at this very sad time. May God bless you and give you comfort. I knew your mom and dad when you were younger and visited at your grandparents' home and also in Swampscott. They were caring people and loved you dearly. My prayers are with you all.

I want to express my condolences to the children of the Barclay family. Your father was a very caring, and gentle person. He will surely be missed by all the people who knew and worked with him at Boston Medical Center on the Transitional Care Unit.
