Barry-

I know you are now a beautiful angel along side of your heavenly creator. That thought alone gives me great comfort. I will always remember your smile and great attitude towards things in life. You were such a joy to have around. Remember the murder mystery dinner party? What a blast we all had! You are greatly missed among all of us who know and love you. I watched you in your high school years as a Raider so in love with Stephanie. The dances and movie night at my house with Steph, Jason and Petra. You are a hero in our hearts, giving your all to defend the country we love. We will all see each other again in our heavenly kingdom. WE miss ya Barry...

Barry Joe,

I don't know where to begin.There is so much to share about you to others. I want to first THANK GOD for bringing you into my life 5years ago. I was blessed to have such a wonderful person like you love me and see only the best in me. Till this day I don't think I could ever explain how much I enjoyed having you in my life. You brought not only Joy, Love, Happiness, and great memories to me, but also to my family. And I thank you for that! You will always be someone special to us and continue to be part of our daily lives. Words could never express my feelings for you and how much You mean to me. I'm grateful that we could remain friends after all that we have been through. It is so hard to deal with such a tradegy like this with no answers, only confusion and knowing you are no longer with us. I could never imagine my life without you in it in some way and not hearing your sweet voice. You will always have the "Key to My Heart" and a Special place in it. It seems just like yesterday we were driving together in your "Ketchup ~N~ Mustard car." You were truely a dream come true and I can not wait till the day we can meet again and fall in love like we did the first time!! Thank you for being the person you are loving, understanding,and so much more than you can ever imagine. Keep following your dreams and AIM HIGH.

LOVE ALWAYS YOUR,

Beautiful Blue
