Dianna and I extend our deepest sympathy to the extended family of Tony Barnes. God speed, Tony.Noel and Dianna Jackson Mobile, Alabama
My memory of meeting and visiting with Tony was in the 1990s when he lived and worked in Houston. He often met our group of his mom’s friends for supper at a Piccadilly cafeteria on Saturday night. He was quiet and smiling and a pleasant addition to our group. I am sorry I never got to enjoy his cooking, as he was well known in his family as a wonderful chef. We never know why our young people leave earth so early, but I always choose to believe that their work here has been completed. We should reflect on how we have learned from and enjoyed our too brief time with them. May you, family and friends, recall with laughter and joy and loving thoughts your time with Tony. Peace to you all, Leona Brack
Tony, I know you are up there concocting a wonderful feast for you and your dad. may you rest in peace. Jenny
