Dear Joanna Barnes and Family,
I am so sad today, I just found out about the passing of Ken Barnes. We worked together for 5 years at Bay Desing Group. He was such a pleasure to work with and he was a hard worker. After he was gone from Bay, I was there for about a year and I really missed him. He gave me some good advice and he always had a smile on his face. He worked really hard and some long hours at Bay to be sure he got his work done. I will always remember Ken and the good times we had working together and all the fun we had at company partys. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. God bless.

To the Barnes family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard today of Ken's passing. I worked with him at Bay Design. He and his wife are dear friend of mine. My son Julian and I enjoyed our annual day at the lake fishing with the brotherhood of the junglecock and the end of day dinners Joanna prepared. I am honored to have worked with him and I will keep his memory for a long time to come.

To the Barnes family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard yesterday (Monday) of Ken's passing. I can hardly believe it. I worked with him at Bay Design and enjoyed many conversations with him. He gave me lots of advice on continuing my career in the engineering field. For this and the many things I learned from him I am most grateful. I am honored to say that I knew him. I know that he is resting in Jesus's mighty arms right now.

For Joanna - Your daughters and their Families - your grandchildren - your
step-father and all other family - I am so sorry at the tragic loss of your beloved, Kenny. May you know that I am praying for each of you as you go through the days, weeks and months ahead.

Know that you will NEVER be alone - GOD
is beside you through all things and you can draw comfort from Him whenever
you look to Him.

May you find some comfort in knowing that Kenny is finally at Peace. He no
longer is suffering in any way. Know,
too, Joanna, that - as his wife - you did all that you could to love him - to
comfort him - to guide him - to strengthen him. You were always there for him.

May you find some Peace in the Happy times throughout your marriage, with your family - raising your daughters - watching them grow into young women and
beginning Families of their own -- enjoying your grandchildren. And feeling proud of what you and Kenny have accomplished as loving parents &
grandparents.

Know that I am available to you at any
time you need me - we have already talked about this and I just wanted to remind you.

May God Bless you with His Love & Comfort as each hour passes - may you
always know that while there may be dark days now - the sun WILL shine for
you and your Family again.

My prayers continue to be with you.

In God's Love........your Life-time
Friend..............Pam Martin

The loss of a loved one is always a time of sadness. May you find comfort in the scriptures at Act's 24:15.
