To Mitch, Helga, Angela and extended family I’m sorry for your loss.
Helga & family i was so sorry to hear of your husband and father. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Best neighbors ever when we lived by them for years. Shared a few of Art’s home made beers at the fence when we were mowing. Quite the gardener & tree planter. Really talented guy. Loved birds, animals, & nature. We talked about his career in the Army as a Hellicoptor Mechanic, and everything else. Even helped Helga pick out a new tractor for him for a present. Art loved her dearly. Goodbye Old Friend!
So sorry to hear about Arthur. Prayers and condolences to his family and my friends.
MITCH..I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR FATHERS PASSING. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU
Helga, Angela & family,
I’m sorry for your loss. I never met Mr. Barton, but from knowing you guys, I can tell he was a good man. My condolences.
Sincerely,
Linda Hall
