Tommy was a man of quiet strength, unwavering loyalty, and deep love for his family and community. His legacy is one that will continue to shine through the lives he touched with his compassion, wisdom, and steady presence.

As we reflect on his life and celebrate the precious time we were granted with him, we share the following words of comfort:

Miss Me – But Let Me Go: When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little—but not too long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared,Miss me—but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me—but let me go.

May peace, strength, and cherished memories surround the Barnes family in this season of farewell. Please know that Harrington Funeral Home, Inc. is humbly serving the family with honor, love, and care during this time.
