Dear Lord please help barker and her family through this trying time.
We hope that our words will bring you a small measure of comfort but you will draw strength to get through the days ahead only through the Lord. Cling to Him, pour out all your thoughts and feelings to Him, and place your burdens on His broad shoulders for you are heavy laden and only He can give you rest and peace.
My prayers are with you. You and his children need to remember that you couldn't have prevented this. You need to grieve, but please don't feel guilt.
Faith in God will show you the way.
barker:
May the Lord bless and keep each one of you because of His faithfulness and love. His comfort is the only one that will help long term.
Listen for His voice of gentle consolation.
May God hold you, your husband, and your children in the palm of His hand.
My sympathies to you all, I know the pain that suicide can bring.

My youngest brother died in a similar fashion. I'm sharing with you a piece of music which I hope you might find comforting.
Go Rest High On That Mountain sung by Vince Gill
I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren’t afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin’
Love for the father and son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Prayers for peace and healing.
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Our sympathies are with you and your family
Deepest Regards

Condolences to your family and friends and your husband's friends.
My prayers barker, for your husband, you, and your children.
Please accept my condolences. I'm always jarred by such tragic news, even more after I viewed your homepage, and feel the magnitude of your loss. I'm so sorry. As I think of you in coming days, I'll trust you are surrounded and strengthened, by loving family and friends.
You're in my prayers. Please keep in mind what you said as the days pass, "We will never know what demons were in his head that drove him to this."
It's not your fault.
We're so sorry. We'll pray for you and your children.

Depression is a hard horse to ride.
barker,
Words can't express my sorrow and empathy for you and your children.
My uncle did the same thing twenty years ago.
Please be assured of my prayers.
