My prayers and love to Ruby, Aunt Verna,Pat,Lou,and family. Always knew Mike as one of the best in photography. He was an artist who could capture a moment. He didn’t say much but when he did it was to the point and that said alot.

Our deepest Sympathies to all the Barton Family.
Mike was a sweetheart! We always thought he was so cool when we were kids, and still do! So smart, so kind….I can still see and hear his laugh and smile. He will be missed, but we know he is in a better place.
