Dear Denny, Cheryl, Linda, & Gary
I remember so many good times at your house on Greenwood Ave. Cheryl and I spent a lot of time together. Your mom was cool and treated me like one of her own. It makes one sad to know that you have lost both mom and
dad within a matter of weeks of each other. Know that they are the brightest stars in the night sky, and you will feel them both in the cool night air. My prayers are with you.

"Aunt" Joyce always brought so much joy to my life. We would talk about our ailments together, and then it was on to the laughter and love. She is resting now...and then she'll be dancing in the streets singing and smiling - all pain free. I miss you and love you very much. Don't worry-we'll take care of your Sis. "Mom" Harpley will have love surrounding her always...just as you did. I love you very much "Aunt"Joyce!!!!
