So sorry for your loss, Brad.
In the time I served with Barton as an Elder in the church I always found him to be a voice of reason. He was a man of deep thought and rational. I so much looked forward to his mentorship as I began my service as an Elder. I regret this time has been cut short.
Rest In Peace my friend. I will miss your sense of humor.
So very sorry. Barton was a special man. I enjoyed his Sunday school class and learned so much. Anita, to you, your children, your siblings may your good memories wrap around you and give you peace.
Love Wyanne
a very special person
So sorry for your loss Mrs Anita
