Dr. Barren was an amazing dentist. He saved my smile after a fall when I was 5 years old. I´m 53 now and I still tell people about him. I was just thinking about him and found this. I´m so sad to see that he´s passed away.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
