Marlin Barnes Suddenly his dreams and aspirations were cut short, death does not discriminate, it does not have a heart, April 6, 1974-April 13, 1996 One atrocity after another-there is no love, it often makes me wonder if there is indeed an almighty one above. I strongly believe that my opinion is in consensus with many that it was not his time to die, I will always remember "Red" as an intelligent individual who loved to move the crowd anytime he got the chance and when those memories are embraced upon me, stillt in tears I cry. "He will always be my best friend. I will never forget how he used to answer questions in team meetings in his own energetic, comedian-like way, In my memory of him, I will always have those days, He's gonna be with me until I meet Empathy, not sympathy, is what I have for our family, With emphasis on pulling through this together, knowing how difficult H wttl be, him at the crossroads/' We lost a piece of our family's foundation, a very unexpected surprise...
