Wow Harlan you left us all on December 19, 2014. Which means you will be gone 9 years already. It still doesn´t seem real. Gosh I miss you brother! I wonder just how beautiful that day was when Jody came & joined you on October 21, 2017. Then again when Mom came on November 18, 2021. Followed not long by dad on January 3, 2022. So many losses here on earth, but so many blessings up in Heaven @ your forever home! Someday I´ll get to see what you all see, we know you all are in a much better...

Hi Brother, now it´ll be 8 years on December 19 that you have left us! It´ll be 8 Christmas´s without you too! It´s hard to believe it´s been 5 years that Jody has been gone also! I am thankful you´re together again! It´s been a year that mom left us (on November 18, 21) and then on January 3, 23, it´ll be a year that dad left us! So you have both mom & dad with you now! One by one God is calling us home! I noticed Pam Kalkman wrote on your page when you passed, well she just died this past...

Hi Brother, today marks 7 years you went to be with Jesus! I´ll never forget getting that call that you left this earth! I can tell you where we were and everything! I´m just thankful you´re with Jesus, pain free! I´m sure when Jody arrived in 2017 you both were so happy to be together again! Well now you have Mom with you guys too! She left us on November 18. We sure weren´t ready for her to leave us, that was a shocker to us all! We never even told her goodbye. But we know she is now with...

Leah and Eric and your grand babies are doing good! I know Leah has her days, but she’s staying strong. We love your babies like our own, hope you know that! Leah knows she’s got us here if she needs anything! Your granddaughters are beautiful like their mommy! Infact We’re...

Harlan on December 19, 2014 , marks 5 years you went to be with Jesus! We miss u like crazy, I think of you everyday! I see your grandbabies, and they are as active as you were! Little Norah is quite the little dancer, and little Harper follows after sissys footsteps! They are so precious Brother, you would love seeing them flourish! They tear at my heartstrings, I love your baby girls so much! I love Leah as my own, so I will be there for your baby grand girls too! I cant believe you left us...

Jody and Leah. So sorry for the passing of your dearest Harlan. I never met Harlan but the way he has been described, he was a wonderful, loving, caring man who always had a smile on his face and one who had kind words for everyone he met. God Bless you- praying for you. With BIG hugs, Jody's classmate, Marlene Uhen Hickman

It was a pleasure meeting you Harlan, despite the pain you always had a smile on your face that I will never forget. I am honored and will never forget what a source of Inspiration Harlan was to me. Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Wow today is your Memorial Sweets, and what a beautiful day it is. The sun is shining, just like it was the day you went to be with Jesus. It'll be a tough day but our faith will get us through it. We love you Har, can't wait until we see you again! Like Jody & Leah told you before you left, we'll be ok, we're just missing you like crazy. I know you'll be with us today, Jen & Jo both saw your angel cloud in the sky the day you left. It was the only cloud in the sky. I wish I saw it. I love...
