Important Announcement Regarding Deaths in King County
Families and their Funeral Service Providers, including Barton Family Funeral Service, are experiencing significantly delays in obtaining death certificates from King County while King County implements an electronic system called EDRS. (You may read about it HERE)
We have been using the EDRS system for several years for deaths occurring in other counties such as Snohomish County. We know the system well and are trying to help physicians and hospitals as they make the transition. Because King is such a large county, the transition is taking longer than we have experienced in the past, and unfortunately we are all experiencing considerable delays in obtaining death certificates.
County and State officials are very cooperative and are working diligently to facilitate the change. We ask for your patience and assure you that we are doing everything possible to meet your expectations.
God looked around his garden and found an empty place
He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest
With the help of his angels they flew you to your heavenly place
He knew you were suffering, he knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never get well on Earth again
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb
He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be Thine”
It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you today, when God called you home.
Rest in peace my sweet sister
What a joyous reunion on the otherside of the veil it has been! Linda, we have been blessed to have you as sister, mother and friend! You are loved and will continue to impact all of us who knew you.
Love you forever and always!

Aunt Linda, I am at a loss for words. I am so blessed and honored to call you my Aunt. I love you more than you can ever imagine. Until we meet again.
You have left a hole in our heart. We will miss you every day.
Some day we will all be with you.
Love you very much,
