Dearest Alice, Gail, Mike, Gregory, and Zackery. There are no words to tell you the sadness I feel in my heart tonight. I am sad myself, loosing my brother, but my heart breaks for all five of you. The only real comfort comes from God Himself. I urge you to trust in Him and take one day at the time. We serve a wonderful, loving and FORGIVING God. He is an awesome God, even with all of our flaws, He still loves and cares for us. My thoughts and prayers will be with you continually. Brad was very glad that he was able to attend Uncle Harold's funeral, though he had not seen him since his own Dad's death. He felt very deeply for you Gail. He said, "I know what she is going throughTOO, Brad loved his Dad, nearly worshipped him, but his Dad was like your Dad, he had traveled the road of extreme illness so many times. I pray that God's love and guidance will be your light for the future. Harold would want all of you to be STRONG; after all HE was so strong and he knows you all can be also. Take care. For any mistakes of any kind that I made I am sincerely sorry. God forgives and so we have too also, that is If we live by His Word and I feel very confident that we all do. Love to all. Harold Sister, Ann P. S. Let me say again, "I am so so sorry that I had the accident; I was there to help you all out and instead, Alice, Jo, and Jo ended up waiting on me. I really felt awful about it, BUT I AM SO HAPPY IT WAS ME AND NOT JO P. I love my sister that much, as I did my brother. Take care, keep in touch. Again, I love each of you. Zack & Gregory, I am so proud of my great nephews and I DO love you both.
