On this Thursday March 14, 2013 my dad lost his battle with pancreatic cancer it was just January that he was.diagnosed it was a way too short and painful battle for him. He was really close to my 11 ye.old son he basically raised him and he had also helped me out when my 2 yr old was born. Being a huge daddy's girl also this loss has devastated me and shook my belief system to its core. I just wanna pray for all of my family my dad was an Amazing man I don't think he knew how many lives he touched and how much people truly love and care for him. I also wanna pray that my 11 yrson makes it throgh this with his faith in the Lord intact and is able tp smile when he thinks of his Papa. I pray for my wonderful mothwr who took fantastic.care of my dad plz take all her pain away I hate seeing my entire family in this much pain plz just help us celebrate my dads life not mourn his death. I know he wouldn't wanna see us cry. Unfortunately I wasn't able to say goodbye when he passed but I pray and hope w everything I have my dad knows how much I love him and how great of a dad he was. I couldn't have asked for a better daddy he was my role model, my inspiration, my hero, my best friend, my everything and most importantly he is My Dad! Thank you! RIP RAYMOND D BARKER I LOVE U DADDY!
