    "It takes a Swann to know a Swann!" Your cousin has been telling me that since day one and all these years later I wholly understand that because when he talks about you it's not about a "cousin" it's about a "brother". Thank you for being there for him when he needed you. I owe you much for helping make him the man he is. You will always live in Barry's heart and never be far from his thoughts. Rest In Paradise Tut. A lifetime of memories Going down the drain I'd like to keep steppin' But I can't get past the pain.

    When I got the word that you'd passed it just didn't want to believe it. Every time I saw you, you had that silly smile. I don't believe I've ever seen you without that smile. You brought laughter in so many lives. Not only were we cousins but school mates and friends. I pray you rest well buddy. You will be missed. I light this candle in celebration of your memory.
