TO MY HUSBAND - No one shall tear us apart...Til Death Do Us Part and more. I cannot go on living with you away from my side. I need and want to take care of you. I cry all the time. I don't mean to be selfish, but when I see all the "I's" in this, it looks that way. You are in Heaven with all the good things we strive for in life. I miss you, your touch, your care, your love, your taking care of me, your arms around me, your lips on mine, your happy face, your growling and scared face, everything about you. I miss your toe-slapping and your yells for Mama. My God, why do you have to be away? Make it so that we can be together again, please God. Clair and I are soulmates. I know people say that, but they don't really mean it. I am nothing without my Clair. He was a wonderful soldier and fought for our country twice. He was a great father and role-model for our kids. He was my HERO and always will be. I cry because I miss him and nobody can stop my tears. Life is often unfair to those who are hurt. He wanted death to end his pain and to give him back his manhood. He was always in pain and sick. He wanted to be able to do what his body wouldn't let him do. He wanted to putter in the yard, go places, and be peaceful. Nobody could be as lucky as I was to have shared these years with him. My memorial to you, Clair, is that you were a good person and a very loving, caring person. A gentleman, honest to a fault, and kind-hearted. I want you back. I didn't want you to have pain and suffering, but I didn't want you to die either. There was no in-between. Many people miss you dearly. I'm glad that you showed the world how wonderful you were. So many people loved talking with you. You should be proud. I want to be with you and I cannot stop the grief without you by my side. I know that none of this makes sense to only you and me, but Clair,you were and still are loved by many people. I'll just end this with the fact that Clair Herman Barnes left a legacy to many people. I can't stop the tears.

...for Clair, my husband always, from his wife, Mrs.Clair H. Barnes, Georgia Valeta Barnes
