My amazing brother Barry Austin passed away suddenly but peacefully on 13th March 2009. Words can't
describe how I'm feeling. I can't believe you're gone. You were loved so much by each and every one
of your family and many friends.

I was hoping for a miracle but it never came. I have fantastic memories that are keeping me going
for now. I will always miss you and you will never ever be forgotten. I love you so much. Your
broken hearted sister, Carol. xxx


Barry was a brilliant, loving and devoted Son to Phyllis and Billy. He was a much loved Brother of
John, Margie, Sylvia, Teed, Lynn, Carol and Kim. He was a great Brother-in-Law, Uncle and Great
Uncle. He was the life and soul of every party and as his dad says, every day was Christmas with
Barry. Barry was also a good friend to many people, especially Mala, who has been a brilliant friend
to Barry for many years. We can't thank him enough for everything he's done. We didn't realise he
had so many good, true friends.

Barry used to love to sit in the sunshine and always had a sun tan. He loved to follow the jazz
bands which he was involved with from a young age. He loved to spend time socialising with his
family and many friends.

He will be missed more than any words can explain. The fact that we will never see him again is
absolutely breaking all of our hearts. But we will meet again one day and our family chain will link
up once again. We miss all off his little sayings (Exactly, Av Neva, Sweet as Rufus etc). I hope
Barry realised just how much we all loved and cherished him. We're all missing him so much. I don't
think any of us have ever felt such pain.

Thinking of him always and he will never be forgotten.

His heartbroken Mam and Dad and all of the family xxxx

Barry - Simply the Best

I have cried rivers of tears and it just doesn't get any easier
For 7 months you've been gone and it still seems like yesterday
You're gone but not forgotten, the memories will last forever

Laughter is how I remember you best
Full of fun and happiness

Your family, friends and cheer
Are just a few things that you held dear
Everyday will never be the same
Without you here, partyin'
Now our days are filled with sorrow
Without you here its hard to face tomorrow

Our good times are now just a memory
As you are laid to rest
But know that you are in our hearts
We love you, You're the best

Love always and forever xxxxxxx

Barry My Brother

Barry,

I keep saying this but I am missing you so so much. I watched a video of you from 1993 (YES, 1993!). I just needed to see you and hear your voice. Michael and Kevin were so young then. We were at your house where you lived with Paul and the dogs (Jake & Jessie). I thought I would be so upset but it was so nice to see your face and hear your voice (if only I could do that now). I would give everything I own and more just to see you walk through my door.

Barry, why do the very good die young. I'll never forget you ever.

Your broken hearted sister, Carol xxxxxxxx

BARRY
Why did you have to go. I will never understand. It is all so unfair and if loving you could have saved you you would still be here.A loving brother,one of a kind when they made you they broke the mould. I only hope you knew how much you were loved and how much you are missed.When I go to your resting place and see your photo I feel like you are watching me where ever I go,missing you so much your broken hearted sister Carol xxxx

Barry,

They say there is a reason
And say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way I feel
I miss you so much Barry
It all seems so unreal

Your broken hearted sister Carol xxx
