Guest Book

Robert Troy Barnes aka "Boogie" you will be missed dearly and my love for you will never die. When our loved ones pass on, there are holes in our hearts. When in our grief, we think nothing could possibly fill. But drawing on wisdom from the depths of our souls, we can discern the truth. Our dearly departed, following their earthly lives, become part of a luminous cloud of witnesses made up of all who have lived and loved who have passed from this life to become part of eternity. We, too, are part of eternity, though our departed loved ones, joined with God, know much more. For now, it is enough for us to know that this gentle cloud of witnesses surrounds us with love that can fill the holes in our hearts, staying closer to us than we can now understand. Our loving new ANGEL. Rest peacefully, Love cousin Dr. Regina Ross
