Mrs. Barker and Family, We are very sorry for your loss. I never got the chance to meet Lawrence, but Chris told me he was a wonderful man. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Our sincere condolences are extended to Dorothy and the entire Barker and Blaney family on the passing of Lawrence Barker Sr.
May you all find comfort in your grief and courage to face the days ahead. As we all realize that for the believer in Jesus Christ while it is "absent from the body . . . (it is) . . . present with the Lord." You all are remembered in our thoughts and prayers. The hymn comes to mind that says:
"Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love.
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Father's throne,
We pour our ardent prayers.
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one;
Our comforts and our cares.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain,
But we shall still be joined in heart
And hope to meet again."
