Andy Melissa Stevens says
Barry you will always live in our hearts and our memories. I will always remember your smile. Every time I saw you if I was down you were always cheerful and kind. Jacob and Haley loved you as an uncle, uncle Barry and they are saddened by this great loss. We are glad you are at peace now. You no longer have to suffer and now you are in the kingdom of heaven. Scott it will be hard for you now. it will get easier in time but never goes away. that is because your love for Barry will never go away. He will forever be in your heart and in this difficult time I like to think about the “Footstep” poem. When the man says “Lord, during my whole life I see 2 sets of footsteps beside me, but at my most difficult times I only see 1 set. Why is it in those hard times you make me walk alone?” The Lord replies ” My son when you see 1 set of footsteps in your darkest times it is then that I carried you.” It may seem sometimes like your alone but your not, we are here and Barry is forever young. Love, Andy, Missy, Jacob, Haley, along with Sofie and cocoa love ya bro.
