Russell Barger Jr.

Russell Barger Jr.

In loving memory of our beloved son and brother Russell Barger Jr. October 6, 1961 - June 16, 2012.

Did the sun shine brighter, or was the sky a deeper blue,

Or was it just a different world,

When we shared our lives with you.

Forever is a long time,

This we know is true,

But that’s how long our

broken hearts,

Will love and yearn for you.

Each day we think about you,

And realize you are gone,

We can’t explain the

emptiness,

That life has now become.

They say that time’s a healer,

But we are not to sure,

For every time we think of you,

Our hearts break more and more.

So Deeply Loved,

So Sadly Missed,

Mom, Debbie, Valjean, Shari.
