    Hi Carol, Beth and Craig,
    I just wanted to say that I was sad to hear about Barry and that I am sorry for your loss.
    I have fond memories of living on Ebury Crescent and your family was a part of that. When we first moved in you made us feel very welcome in the neighbourhood – Barry was the first person to come over to our house as I remember and welcome us to the neighbourhood.
    Marty

    My deepest sympathies.
    As the days pass, some will be good some will not, but know that he is in a better place than you and me.
