Letha and family, I’m heartbroken for all of you. It’s most sorrowful that Rebecca and Mike have left this earth in such a short few weeks. I pray for Mary Rebecca and LeeAnn as they have lost both parents so soon. Letha I know losing a child has to be the biggest loss of all. I will be praying for your family.

So sorry to hear of the passing of my childhood friend. Have many fond memories of growing up together in the Barrineau community and during our years at school. Sending deepest condolences to the family during this time of loss. I hope you find comfort and peace in the days ahead.
Praying for all of you ❤️
he will be missed.
Mr.Mike will be missed, he was a stand up guy, my direct supervisor @ Baxter’s back in the 90’s & Facilities Director when I worked with Williamsburg County School District. I heard his voice when he was overseeing a sign installment @ W.M. Anderson Primary School back in 2017 or 2018 and almost felt like I was running over on my lunch break 🤓. We chatted briefly and he was always glad to see former employees/friends. Condolences to the Barrineau family, praying for and with you all.💕
My 7th grade math teacher back in 2001, you were always a phenomenal teacher, and human being. Heaven truly gained an angel. You will be missed, and I sincerely thank you for taking time with a knucklehead like me. I think I turned out alright because of you. I pray peace and comfort for your family, knowing that to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.
