Our deepest sympathies are with the entire Barnett inner circle and family. Throughout the years, Ben was always a very positive male role model for me and my brothers. And it goes without saying that Laverne has always been like another older sister to us, as she and our sister Gayle are still like sisters. You are in our prayers.
