There's a song by Frankie Goes to Hollywood called "The Power of Love," and it seems fitting to share some lyrics that remind us of the love Barrington held in his heart:
"The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal"
Barrington's love was like a force from above; it had the power to cleanse our souls and light a fire within us. His love was so strong that it felt as if our very beings were being purged, driving us to make love our goal in life.
But Barrington's love didn't just fuel his relationships and friendships; it fueled his aspirations to be a better person, to face life's challenges with courage and determination. His humble beginnings only strengthened his resolve to protect his loved ones and create a better life for himself and those around him.
His life wasn't without challenges or darkness, but Barrington never let the weight of the world bring him down. Instead, he used his unique strength to rise above it, to become a beacon of inspiration for others. Through his unwavering love and resilience, Barrington showed us that the human spirit is capable of overcoming all odds when fueled by the power of love.
As we say our final goodbyes to Barrington Charles Thomas, let us all hold on to the love and light he shared with each of us. Let us honor his memory by embracing the power of love in our lives, just as he did.
