Miles A. Barry says
When I think about how fast time has everything has happened. I think about the last time we talked. We could talk for hours about nothing but it was so fun just to hear you making jokes. We talk to each other everyday sometimes three times a day. I am really going to miss that. But I know you’re in a better place where you won’t have to suffer anymore. One day we’ll be able to talk to again. I know that you’ll always be looking down hear laughing at things I do and always looking out for me. When it gets lonely and hard, I will always have memories of you, the way you laughedm, the way you smiled, and the way you always made me laugh, no matter what kind of day I was having I knew that when I called you, you’d make me feel better with your jokes. I will never forget you and will always remind my children what kind of man their grandfather was.
Love Always Your Son,
Miles A. Barry
