Dear Janice, Cathy, Sidney, and Barney, Jr., I was saddened to learn of Barney's passing in the Star-Telegram today, so I'm thinking about you. I wanted to let you know my family and I are holding you in our thoughts. I remember how fun I thought it was at the dental office when Janice and dad worked together. And I still recall fondly my trip with Cathy and Sidney to Lubbock to see Texas Tech. And the trips to the horse stables. I hope you are all well, in spite of this trying time. Condolences and best wishes to you all. Best regards,
Gary Drechsel
