Dear Barnes family. I am so sorry to have read of the death of Rex. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:4. (Please read) May God give you and your family comfort in His promise that soon we will never experience losing our loved ones in death and we will be able to see them again once they are resurrected. With deepest sympathy and warmth of heart.
To the Barnes family,
We are so very sorry for your family’s loss. We didn’t know Mr. Barnes, but after reading his obituary, we can see what a good and generous man he was. Enterprise is a better city because of his contributions to its citizens. Jerid and Shanna, we are so sorry we didn’t know and convey our sympathy earlier. If there is anything we can do for your family, you have only to ask!
