Grant us all grace, kindness n mercy n ur eyes, n the eyes of all who behold us, and bestow bountiful kindness upon us. Hear the voice of my prayer, 4 u hear every1's prayer. Blessed r u Lord, who hears prayer. It's hard 2 know wha 2 say 2 some1 who has experienced somethin 4 which there r no words. But n my worst moments of pain, which have not approached nething this crushn, it was always better 2 knw some1 was/is there than 2 feel that no1 cared or was avoidin me. I can only hope that by sendn ?/thoughts/prayers we can each lighten his mother/family load, jus a lil. I'm prayn 4 ur family, hopin n some way all of our prayers/thoughts 4 u, will help to carry u all thru this time. There r no easy answers whatsoeva, other than respect what the fam state's specifically, every1 grieves diff. If she they 4 privacy, honor that. Otherwise, send more ?. Also, remember them days, weeks, months frm na. Has a dear friend of mines, very cool dude, he will be missed by alot of folks. God is workn n the midst of it. Nething less would render our already senseless loss even more senseless....be encouraged u all...

To say that I was very fortunate to have met you is an understatement. We came from two different worlds but we linked click tight through love and our friendship. You showed me what loyalty and being down for somebody was all about. All the times, in my truck rolling around, hitting blocks, with our little young butts,back in the day lol! We always kept in touch months could go by and we'd pick up right where we left off and most importantly YOU NEVER CHANGED. A HEART OF GOLD. I'm going to miss you so much! There will never be anyone realer. So i'm just going have to cherish your memory.
Love your friend 4 life,
Sonya

I know the Lord makes no mistakes, but this is very difficult to understand. I met Marray about 10 yrs ago through my niece, and would see him off, and on, especially at the BP station. He called me auntie, and I called him nephew. I saw sooo much potential in him. He had a wonderful smile to match his warm personality. This is yet another example of a young person, gone too soon! Lord give his family, and loved ones strength to get through this trying time. Lift the burden from all of our hearts, for truly...this is sadness to the bone, but we've read in Your Word, 'earth has no sorrow, heaven can not heal!' Stay strong in the Lord, family, and friends. Marray...light up heaven with that smile of yours. Thanks for passing our way. You've carved a place in our hearts for eternity.

Jesus never fells, Jesus never fells, heaven and earth shall pass away, but Jesus never fells. To the Barnes family no one understands when a life is taken but the one who gives breath tells us that if we hold our peace and let the lord fight our battle victory shall be ours. May the peace of God surround your family during this difficult time and years ahead.
