Barry Manning

I was so saddened to hear of Barry's passing. I have known Barry through chat for so many years I lost count. Always the gentleman, always a hug and a smile when I would come to the room. We spoke of his illness many times, and he faced it all with great courage and strength. I know he suffered and it broke my heart. Chat will never be the same without him, nor will lives he has touched. I am quite sure he has already met up with those from chat who have passed on before him, and he has claimed his rightful place in the upper right hand corner in that big chat room in heaven. Rest well my friend. The suffering has ended. Until we meet again..know you are missed. My prayers to Barry's family in your time of sorrow. With much love, Linda

years ago an older person offered advice at a funeral............." AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS"". i know thats little consulation at a time like this. i found those words have helped me over the years. i offer my deepest condolences to the family. he helped me understand english mailing addresses and far as i know never told a soul. people like this are hard to find any where much less VP

Barry, I  am so glad to know that  you are free of the pain  that haunted you for so long.Of course most of us did  not know of your great strength in just living.We all  hope that the "room"  helped and all  the people  in it  every day.If you get the opportunity up there  maybe  you could start a chat room for  those of us who  come after you. Say  hello to my   dad for me..he was a fine English gentleman also with a great  sense of  humour.
My deepest  sympathy  to  your  family. It  hurts so  much to lose a loved one. Then one day you realize they are still  with  you, in your heart and mind, loving  you as they always have.

Rest well Barry,and be at peace, you  deserve it.   shurls

How many times did I come in the room and avs were sitting there but nobody spoke... then out of the top corner would come a greeting from Barry and a hug... now there will be silence... in that silence
Barry will be remembered

Barry and I were often the only people in chat during my shifts.  We didn't talk in depth, but I knew how ill he was and he knew I understood.  R.I.P. Barry

Don't Grieve For Me For Now I'm Free   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 Him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of 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 ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to 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.
