Uncle Barney,
I love you very much and I will always have Cheryl and Jonathan in my heart. It is still so hard to believe that Jonathan was gone and now Cheryl. I have sat at work many times talking about everyone and telling them about all of ya'll. It was just last week I was talking about Jonathan when a co-worker lost a family member. I wish time hasn't flown by so fast and I could have came to visit more often. You are always in my heart and I love everyone with all of my heart. I miss all of you very much (You, Aunt Betty, Grandma, Christopher, Mark and his family in Charleston) Just try to be strong during this time.
Michelle, Tony, Brandon, & Alex Wallen, TN

Barney,
I worked at Dr. Smith's office a few years ago as his nurse so hopefully you remember me. I took care of you and Cheryl and Jonathan for the nine years I was there. I am so sorry for your loss. I am keeping you in my prayers and just wanted to let you know I have many fond memories of Cheryl because she was such a giving and caring person. She brought us gifts during the Holidays that she had made or the time she brought us the Aloe Vera plant for the office. May God Bless you during this time.

Raye and Family,
Eventho years have past I will always remember Cheryl and your friendship that we shared in the flower shop. Cherly was such a sweet young lady who would make me laugh and enjoyed life. Even tho I lost contact with her after I sold the shop I never forgot her and our many talks.
I know the sadness and hurt you feel because I lost my son ( Richard ) to a long battle with cancer 4 months ago. Someone gave this to me and I hope it helps you.
what you leave behind is not what is engraved in a stone mounument, but what is woven into the LIVES OF OTHERS.
Bless you and take care,
Anna Bishop
