IN MEMORIAM

Robert Blaine BARNETT
November 2,

Not having you there to . . .
pick me up after a fall,
wipe away my tears,
help with homework,
yell at me all the time over a dirty bedroom,
make me finish school,
teach me to drive,
scare my boyfriends,
give me away,
be a grandpa for my 3 daughters.

For dying and not getting to know me, your daughter.

I forgive you all these.
I can say I love you from everyone else's memories and stories.
When we meet I know it will be different.
Until then . . .

Your Daughter
Tonja D. BARNETT SPARKS
