Barry & Pat Rahn
One year ago, our Ten-Foot Tall Father, Barry Rahn, was diagnosed with cancer and he was only expected to live for a few weeks. But his Loyal, and Diamond of a Wife, Patricia Rahn, helped our Father survive and live a quality and fulfilling life. Our Father and the Rahn Family owe Pat, the Lovely and Caring Patricia, a lifetime of gratitude and thanks for the care and comfort she has provided. But it hasn't been easy and both Pat and Barry has suffered greatly.
But now we hope and pray that both Pat and Barry will receive comfort, joy and peace from the Prayers, Words and Thoughts that are being shared from family and friends all over the country. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining this Prayer Vigil for Pat and Barry, We are eternally grateful.
Thank You Very Much,
The Rahn Family

Lord of Power, You are the comfort for Barry & Pat, You are their shield, and You are their hope. In light of these events which have drained them and left them distraught – they cling to You. Lord, they need You and You alone to give them strength. Let them not drown in their emotions but to hold on to the hope You give them in Jesus. Whatever comes their way, it pales in comparison to the coming glory of Christ, and in that, they hope. Thank You that their true strength is to be found in Your name.
Amen.

A true warrior fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him. In the warriors code there is no surrender, though his body says stop… his spirit cries, never ! To hold it together when everyone would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength. You are a warrior. Warriors don’t back down. Pick up your sword, your shield, and fight.

“Family” isn’t defined only by last names or by blood. It’s defined by commitment and by love. It means showing up when they need you most. It means having each other’s backs. It means feeling each others struggles and pain. It means never giving up on each other. 
Sending my love and prayers to the entire Rahn family.

Our thoughts are with you Barry. We have so enjoyed visiting with you and Pat at family events – you have always been so interesting and fun to speak with and your background and lifestyle are inspiring. I remember asking you how you kept yourself looking so youthful. Well, no alcohol – that was an obvious one. Then I ask what your diet consists of and one of your go-to’s was a lettuce sandwich. I say, wow, just bread and lettuce and you says, no, I use the lettuce instead of bread for the sandwich – now THAT’S how you look 60 at 80. VERY impressive.
