Reverend Donald L. Harper

Dearest Barbara and Family,

How fortunate we have been to have known and loved such a wonderful servant of God. Don's devotion and love was evident in the time and care he gave each day. He simply couldn't retire from serving:) And ...he did it with a smile. He will be forever in the hearts and minds of those he touched. Thanks for sharing him with me and my family. May you find the comfort and support he provided to so many.

God Bless,

Dear Harper Family:

Dear Mrs. Harper, Mark and Marisa, and Brian,

With our deepest sympathy and much love,

As a member of Calvary for 14 years now, I recall every encounter with Rev. Harper (Don; Pastor Don) fondly. He participated in lively discussions in Missions and Fellowship committee meetings, often quietly placing a hilarious observation into the mix, spurring us to re-consider ways to be the best Christian servants to those in our community, state, nation, and around the world. He'd bashfully accept compliments or hugs, but sometimes you just had to give them! His sermons moved me and my...

Dear Mrs. Harper,
The loss of Rev. Harper is great. Even greater a loss would be if I had never met him and you. A beautiful, caring couple who bring joy and love to all.

My deepest sympathy to you, your sons, and loved ones upon the passing of Rev. Harper.

My deepest gratitude and love for both of you being a part of my life.

Pastor Harper was a great pastor and I liked him. He made my day when I saw him because he made me smile. He did excellent sermons. I'm sad that he died.
