To the Barnhart family. We are sorry to hear about your loss. May these words provide you hope and comfort during this your time of sadness. 1 Corinthians 15:21,22, “For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.” Jesus said of himself that he was the resurrection and the life at John 11:25. May God sustain you all during this time as well.

My Mom was preceded in death of our father Lloyd Nolan Young. Wayne Barnhart was our second Dad. We loved them both for different reasons. She is with them both and all those who passed before, in peace and devoid of pain. I wish to thank Southern Oaks for their fine service respecting my Mom. Thanks to all who came to honor her passing. I’m sure Debra and Mike feel the same way. Mom was many things to us but most of all she was real. We will miss her dearly.
