Chris and Josh,
You may or may not remember me. But I worked with Barry at McDonald's in the Oklahoma Region. Barry was a wonderful man, co-worker, and fellow McFamily member whom will be greatly missed. I am saddened and so very sorry to hear about his passing. I was out of town with work and was not able to attend the service, but I wanted you all to know that You, and your entire Family are in my thoughts, and being lifted up in my prayers during this most sorrowful of times. I pray that God will be with you and and that his Love, Strength, Peace, Hope, and Grace will be with the entire Family during this time and also moving forward.
