Bobbie and all of your family,
I can't find the words to express my sadness about the death of Harry Stone. I am praying for the family during this so difficult time and the loss of your beloved, Harry. He was in the class of 1970. I saw where he wrote something to me in my 1969 yearbook. I knew there had to be something from him because he was such a nice guy, friendly, funny and genuine. He wrote, "Linda, you are a good friend, I hope to know forever, Stoney '70." I never saw him after graduation, but I knew that we'd have something to talk about if we did. He was a friend of mine, we called him "Stoney" I will cherish that note forever. I will strive to be like him and "Do right thing."

Dear Bobbie, Susan and Steve,
There are simply no words in our language that express the heartfelt sorrow and sadness felt for your terrible loss. God has a Spiritual language for it and I'm praying for each of you and your families that he comforts you every second throughout this difficult time.
I wish I could have had a chance to hug you all, but my schedule was too tight with obligations to break away. I'm so sorry.
My prayers and love, Donna Fast

So sorry to hear about your loss. I didn't know him well but had met him through an HOA network and really enjoyed him, Soft spoken, always helpful and kind. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out for this family. I know when I lost my husband 10 months ago I enjoyed reading these. It was a comfort. May God comfort you through this difficult time.
