Kelley Smith
Scott & Jimmy, I extend my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I had the privilege of watching the livestream of the service today from afar, as I live in Illinois now. It was just beautiful. Barney was my first cousin, but I always thought of him as an uncle due to the age differences and you two as my first cousins. My mother Linda (Barney’s aunt) had immense love for Barney and a closeness more akin to brother and sister. She, among so many others, I believe were there to welcome him into his new home with loving arms. So much time has passed, but I have fond and loving memories of you all from childhood. Be well. With love, your cousin, Kelley ((Hoog) Smith
