In the Name of the Altogether Lovely Jesus Christ. Dear Heavenly Daddy and the director of our steps, the Blessed Holy Spirit. We extend our heartfelt love to all of the family of Emeritus Pastor Jason Barr. It was such an honor to have met him from the late our Emeritus Pastor Delano R Paige, Sr., and Pastor Maurice Doss. All three of them are now missing from this side of Heaven (quoted from our first lady, Rev. Taleeta Canady). And when we know from our ❤❤'s that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. What a party that is going on, . Pastor Barr was a special gem from the ❤❤❤ of GOD. We will continue to keep the family in prayer, as you journey through the wilderness right now. To Jason, Jr., what a wonderful dad that GOD has sent to you. You will always remember the love and his teachings for you to grow up to be the true man that GOD has designed you to be. To first lady, Kimberly Barr,, your husband loved you and you will carry on with GOD's grace and mercy. We love you dearly!

To the Barr Family and the
Macedonia Church Family,
"Earth has no sorrow that Heaven
cannot heal."
He was a Visionary, A Preacher and
Teacher in His own right and he
preached with power and conviction.
His insight into teaching the word
of God was phenomenal. We need more
like him in these last and evil days
that we are living in.
May the Lord give you, "Beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning
and the garment of praise for your
heaviness."

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
