My condolence to the Hester family: Our Heavenly Father has heard your outcries of pain and sorrow over the death of your dear loved one. He too has suffered the loss of his dear loved one. Therefore, He has promised to end death and all things that cause death, pain and suffering. He has furnished us a garantee through his son, Christ Jesus, that our dear departed ones will hear his voice and arise to a life of unending blessings of peace, joy and happiness. Now though, with out stretched arms, He invites you to throw your burden, your pain upon him and allow him to sustain you. What wonderful blessings our Heavenly Father has in store for us and our dear departed ones.

While hunting for my old buddy Bubba online, I ran across this shocking obit for his dear brother Barre. The Hester family were all such a part of my youth, having grown up just across the street at 322 Calvin. I just can't believe Barre is gone at such a yung age. He was one of the kindest people I ever knew and helped his parents raise his younger siblings. I know he will be deeply missed.

I had the privilege of working with Barre in Galena Park ISD and then was blessed when our paths crossed again through "Seniors Helping Seniors" in Pasadena ISD. Barre cared for people and was a true prayer warrior!!! I will miss my friend!

Barre was the type of person that you wish would live forever. Even tho he was called home quite unexpectedly. as friends and family who knew him we can keep Barre alive in our hearts by loving the Lord like he did, despite our own problems love humanity like he did, and most of all give love, compassion and respect for God's domestic animals.
Sending sincere sympathy to the Hester family,
The family of Gary D. Faulkner
