Sue, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
You left home before me, 10 years my senior, to go make a life of your own. You wanted to share your wisdom from your experiences as I grew up, but I was stubborn and bull headed. Over time, & deep down all of the while, your sense of protection warmed my heart and I realized that all that big brother teasing I endured meant you really loved me after all! Now, you’ve gone home before me and I’m sad. It came way sooner than I had expected. But I’m relieved you are no longer suffering or in pain. You’ve gone to see your Big Brother! I imagine Jesus hugging you & teasing you about silly things you did here and especially for picking on me!!! And I’m going to miss you terribly during this temporary separation, but it’s comforting to know you’ll be there when I make my way home. I’ll look forward to that big bear hug & hearing your laugh again and asking me what took you so long? Your little sister loves you, big brother!
Susie I am so very sorry for your loss, I know you are going to miss him so very much, as we all will. Just remember he is out of pain now and with our Lord. He is smiling down at you and will be with you forever. My
deepest sympothy to you and the rest of his family.
Love you Always,
Kath
Sue, Megan and Family;
We are very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed visiting with Barry on a number of occasions in years past. Sue, we do not see you often, but consider you a good friend! We are not sure we will be able to attend Barry’s memorial service Saturday, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Take care,
Jim & Ila
Sue,
Although I never met Barry in person our times on the phone discussing the issues of the world were always quite enjoyable. Barry was a man of many experiences in life and well read but never lauded his intelligence over whom ever he was talking with, always with an opinion, but always open to your views. I know that you had many very good times to remember and they will help ease some of the pain. You are blessed with friends and family and allow them to soothe your tough times and heartaches. It has only been a little over 4 weeks since I lost Judy, it is tough but with your faith and resolve you will get past this moment. God Bless.

Sue, Jason and the entire Edwardh family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of Barry. I always loved his sense of humor and all around gentleness. I wrote a little something for Barry the day before he passed but unfortunately, didn’t get to share it with him while he was here.
HOLD STEADY
It must be difficult for you these days,
Under an October sky,
and the waning song of the bluejays.
As the pain comes, ebbs and flows,
You wonder were
all the time goes.
To take back that time, no one can,
But remember,
you will see us all again.
There will be laughter, love, and fruit fresh from the vine,
No lives cut short,
without reason or rhyme.
I hear that you are done, they say that you are ready,
If so take care my friend,
And hold steady.

Sue and all the Edwardh family ~ I am from Warren, MN, and remember Barry from our “growing up” years. We were in the same grade in school. I was a waitress at a local restaurant of the times, the Wagon Wheel, and remember Barry hangin’ out there once in a while. He was always a kind, quiet person. From the sounds of the messages that are being left here, he remained a quiet and gentle man into his adulthood. After Barry and his family left Warren there was no communication for all of these years. His sister, Judy, and I have connected recently so she told me of all the health issues that Barry was dealing with. Take care Mickey, Daune, Lance and Judy. My sincere condolences to all of Barry’s family. Blessed be his memory.
Love and Prayers for you dear Sue. God be with you during this time. I’m here for you dear friend.
