Pretty flowers. It was quite and peaceful last week as I remembered and reflected on the events that morning so long ago. I'm trying my best and hope one day it pays off.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of your being received by God. You are never forgotten, you are always honored, and you are forever missed by those that love you. Your mother has done such a wonderful job of helping other survivors, and I’m sure you are as proud of her as she is of you.

Barry, it has been 19 years and I remember you always. You are one of my best friends and my brother. You will forever live in my heart. My son is named after you. I speak of you often to him and He tells me he is proud to be named after you. You are a great man with a great heart. You will always be my friend and my brother. Until we meet again. God speed. I love you bro....

Hey, barry, I miss you often. You were my cousin-in-law, but always treated me like a little sister. I remember you playing so skillfully on my piano. I can't hear the Charlie Brown theme song without thinking of you and still feeling extremely jealous that I had so many years of lessons and never reached your talent level! I also remember the dirt bike rides you took me on. I always felt safe. I knew you would never let anything bad happen to me! My boys, Ryan, Evan, and Nolan mention you from time to time, as well. Your loving and hilarious personality was far reaching. Your girls are wonderful young women. You're a grandpa now, I'm sure you know!! Haha, you're old!!! Love and miss you always!

Hey Shug - I remember when you had been dead just a few weeks and Dad and I were on our way to church. I started crying and remarked that I just didn't know how I was going to live every day for the rest of my life without seeing you. Dad told me to let the memories sustain me. They have and I have. Thank you for all that you left. PS - wish you were here to love on your two precious grandsons. Shae and Whit have turned into awesome young women. You would be so proud of them.

Sixteen years. It was cold and raining this morning on the bayou. Quiet and almost peaceful as I reflected back to what happened. My heart still aches and I realize yet another year is slipping by.

Thank you for being my partner. Always. 12-4-00.

Just thinking about you, son, and missing you so much, you are in my thoughts every day. I can still laugh about some of the songs you would make up, like the time in Utah, on I15 going south. The hiway sign said "Beaver" / "Las Vegas". You immediately started singing the Elvis song from the movie "Viva, Las Vegas", using "Beaver, Las Vegas" instead . I have driven past this sign many times since, and I still laugh with a tear in my eyes. See you in Heaven!
