Journal entry by Suzy Goldstein Lewis —
Yesterday was a quiet & calm day. My Brother Barry, so weak, so stubborn, his creative gentle hands clinging tightly to the last fragile strings of Life. Our visits were intimate & respectful with soft sweet messages to aide his release from our physical world.This morning Barry had taken final steps to surrender his pain and with his son @ his bedside, a deep & final breath, he set himself free & onto a Beautiful Serene Journey.
The loss of one so Loving & the Patriarch of our Family, is unique & personal to each of us.
