They were always involved in the lives of their family and friends. It must be said that Barney had a love for life even when illness made him frail. Against all odds, he was determined to live out his life meeting every health challenge with faith, hope and perseverance. Barney appreciated each day as a gift and offered the life he was given continually back to the Lord.Grateful for sharing his life are his sisters, Sheila Sechser, Sioux Falls, SD and Linda (Pat) Dotson, Fremont, NE; along with many caring nieces and nephews and extended family.
