Dear Barry Family;
I used to kid your mom that Jim sometimes was worse than my husband in driving me crazy. Truth tho was that I enjoyed working with him in various activities and thought the world of him and your mom. My sincere sympathy to all of you losing them so close together, but I know he wanted to be with your mom and so God granted him his wish. I will always remember him with great admiration along with all of the greats in our parish that worked with him. He was a great guy.
God blessed you all with a great father.
sincerely, Jo Cavallaro
