Friends and family of Sean, Riana, Shiway, and Sadie Barry are shocked and devasted by their deaths on Wednesday, 4-20-22. They were a truly special family who impacted the lives of so many of those around them. They leave behind their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews and many many friends.

Family are not prepared for this horrible tragedy. They will need to pay for the cost of funeral services, burial, memorial, expenses of travel and lodging in Duluth and dealing with other costs due to the aftermath of the situation.

The three of us are working together to make sure funds are used for the above purposes.  We have set up a plan for Nolita and Sonja to work with family on request and needs and have Nolita and Erik manage the funds to pay for expenses as needed. 

If you can help to support the survivors, please join us with a financial contribution, words of encouragement and all the love and light you can send.  


Thank you so much.


Sonja Winder-Marifke, Nolita Christensen and Erik Bresnahan, Longtime Friends of Sean and Riana, on behalf of the family of the Barrys.
