My heart is full, yet the words don't come easily. Merida Lanom Barron was "Pawpaw" to my children, Jennifer Barron Dear and Jeremy Lanom Barron. Even though I'm not a Barron anymore, he always made me feel like I was still a part of his family. I loved this man with my whole heart and he knew that. He was a kind, gentle, man who so obviously loved his family from the depths of his soul. My heart hurts for my kids and their daddy, Nubbin. Also, to Rita and the entire family, I just pray for God to wrap his arms around you and help you find the peace that only He can give. God prepared a place for Pawpaw and he is there now; no longer suffering, but living whole in that Mansion on high. God bless you all.
