To My Brother
You will be missed as a brother,
You will be missed as a friend,
You still enter my mind,
Over and over again.

I do find some comfort,
Though you're not here on this earth,
Our sister Judy, once told me,
It's not death, it's rebirth.

So to all who have loved you,
And your "Harry Chapin" song,
I believe you're walking with angels,
Since they,ve carried you home.

Dear Sue and Family,

What a strange coincidence that we were just talking about Harry within the past week and reminiscing about the good old days and the cast of characters we knew as family at the John Barleycorn. Harry could always be counted on for saying something funny every time you saw him or at the very least, a poor rendition of a Harry Chapin song, air guitar included. I think of the Saturday afternoons spent playing Wheel of Fortune for money and (I swear) Harry knew the answer but let me win because I was going to college and he knew every penny I earned I needed. Whenever I saw that show, heard a Harry Chapin tune, or was making a cocktail and added ice (because as Harry would say "You NEVER threw out the marinated ice!") I thought of him. He was a good man with a good heart. We will always remember him.

Dear Nancy~ Our sister, our friend, our hero~ thank you for being with Sonny the last weeks of his life. I'm sure it took a lot out of you to watch him day after day getting weaker & weaker. Along with Sue, you both gave him his last wish~ to be at home. I have never had the pleasure of meeting Sue's brother Matt. He certainly went above and beyond the call of duty for all he has done for Sonny.
We must remember he's at peace now. No more hurting. Keep in mind the words to one of his favorite songs (CIRCLE) "I got this funny feeling that we'll all get together again". Till then Sonny, may the Good Lord Bless and keep you! Nancy, Sue, Matt~ thanks again May God be with you always. Love, Dot, Peg, Alice, Arelene, Barbara and Roger.

Dear Sue~ I know these few words not only come from my heart,but my sisters & brother as well. Thank you for all you've done for Harry thru the years. I know his death was as devastating to you as it was to us. We have to know there's a better place to be other than here on Earth. The Good Lord knew there was no recovering for him so He took him in His arms & brought him home. Again many thanks to you~ We love you, The Hill Family
