In the midst of precious life –there is death
Though laughter allows our spirits to soar,
Deep pain rends the fabric of our soul
Arms used to hugging you…and tickling you silly
Now merely useless appendages
And a mother’s heart, still blessed to have had you,
Is now altered, and grounded by your loss.
As we twirl aimlessly on the stage of life
The hands of time moving painfully slow
The tears course a familiar path
And heavy sighs, like the beat of a drum
Tap a steady, unchanging rhythm
While the maelstrom of emotions
Leave me clinging to my Savior’s hand.
In the midst of the storm, an oasis awaits
And when the sharpness of sorrow subsides,
Comes the comfort of memories sweet
For as the hues and colors of hope return
I will lift my voice in praise to God
And hold you as I did before,
Heartbeat to heartbeat…into eternity.
Preceded in death by his daddy, Jim; and sadly missed, though dearly loved, by his Mama, Shelly;
step-dad Tony, sisters Brianna and Karyn, brother Akiem, and many other relatives and friends.
We thank God for the gift of you!
Went to visit GrandMa Joyce and saw the tree she and GrandPa Clive planted in your honor. It looked like it was dying but for a single green shoot. I'll bet, before long, that it will be a beautiful specimen, blessing those who come within its reach...much like you. I sat in the chair you last sat in playing your DS, and remembered our last visit with you in tow. how different things are now without you. Life goes on, albeit devoid of the color you added.
Missing you,
Mama
P.S. Karyn prayed for you tonight, then she told God she missed her Ro-Ro. It's probably not as much fun for her to torment Bree!
My first Mothers' Day without you... went well, I think. Stayed busy so I wouldn't have time to think. To remember. To grieve what will never be anymore. Dinner was delicious if I may say so myself. At least everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Went to visit Auntie Geri, and we chatted about you for a bit. Telling me how you wouldn't go to sleep one night when you were about 18 months...how 1 a.m. saw you running around, laughing...Wish I had just one more chance to stay up all night with you. I would hold you close and never let you go.
I miss you almost as much as I love you.
Mama
GrandMa Sis sends yucky kisses your way! Bree says she misses playing with you, and hope you're not too busy playing with dinosaurs to think about us. I assured her you weren't. Karyn couldn't find your star tonight because it was overcast, maybe tomorrow. Spike is growing bigger and likes to hang unto Daddy's pant leg and growl...You would have loved him. Daddy is trying to teach him to "sit" and "stay"...but I don't think it is working.
I miss you. Sometimes it is so hard facing the day because you aren't physically with us anymore. I wish you were. Tell Daddy Jim hello, and let him know we miss him, too. At least both of you are together again, though I wish I'd had longer.
Sleep tight, baby boy- soon we'll be together again.
Mama
KEEP MY MEMORY
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.
I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day

Shelly, Tony, and Family not a week goes by without us thinking and praying for you! It has been a great joy to have each of you in our family of God since the first day we met.
I know Rohan is so happy today as he chases the butterflies of Heaven's meadows. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye you will be with him again.
Until then, may his love for you warm your heart each day and may our Lord comfort you as always.
Thank you Rohan for teaching us and sharing with us your love and acceptance!

My Precious Ro Ro
Ro Ro, I love you and I miss you soooooo much!There is not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I'll see you again soon but never soon enough.
Daddy.
The Final Flight
In Loving Memory of Rohan Anthony Barringer
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch,
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
I remember all of the times that Rohan, Brianna, Karyn and I made pizzas and watched TV together. (Garfield, Go Diego Go!, Dora the Explorer and many others.) I will never forget the time when an adorable 6 year old little boy beat me, a 17 year old teenager, in Mario Kart 64. Or all the times when we jumped on the trampoline together and chased each other in the yard. All of the times when he said "Miss Suzanne, will you watch me play my video game?" will forever be in my heart and mind. I will always remember the way that Rohan's eyes lit up when he saw my puppy for the first time and how he got excited when he was allowed to pet him, and how joyful Rohan was when he got his parakeet which is now taking up residence on my back porch. He always sought me out to give me a hug and his smile and love always made my day. He truly was a blessing.
Shelly, from the day I met you, you have always been my role model. You are a strong, faithful, wonderful woman and I pray for you constantly. I adored the way you raised three kids so wonderfully and I am estatic to finally get the opportunity to meet Akiem. I can never thank you enough for everything you have done for me and all of the amazing opportunities you have given me. Thank you for letting me be apart of you and Rohan's lives. There is no way for me to express how grateful I am.
I love all of you so dearly,
Suzanne
