    Marlene and Kevin It has been a long time since 148 High St But I do remember your Dad and Mom. So sorry for your loss…because I have been there with both mom and dad..my advice tuck away all the great memories in a special place in your heart and then on a “blue” day when you need a “lift” pull one of them out and believe me your spirits will be lifted! I will let Ian and Randy know. Take Care Lana

    Dear Barr family,
    I am so sorry for your loss I cant even begin to know what you are going through at this time. One of the things that I have found to be a great source of comfort is the thoughts expressed in the bible at John 5:28,29 were we see that God is going to bring our loved ones back to life at Revelation 21:4 we see that God is going to eliminate all of the causes for why we get sick grow old and die. also at Psalm 37:10,11,29 We see that God is going to destroy all of the wicked evil people and only those who love and obey his commands are going to have the chance of living forever here on a paradise earth surrounded by happy healthy people who love him. it is my sincere hope that these thoughts bring your family comfort at this time. Once again I am so sorry for your loss.
