Not sure what to say?

Harry, I loved all the days "back then" when we had dinner, cocktails and family gatherings with you, Ann and Mora. Miss those times and you. See you again someday in heaven. Love, Jody

Annie,
I'm still hoping to get out to Palm Springs to see you and visit with you while I try to sell my home at FOY maybe in the next few weeks. Harry was always telling me to get rid of the unit because I never used it. Hope to see you soon. I'll sure miss Harry.

Ann, We are so sorry for your loss. Harry was such a sweet man and my father and I really enjoyed getting to know him a bit at the Client Appreciation dinners. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Bob Kline and daughters (Terrie Pena & Devona Read)

I will remember Harry as a warm, soft-spoken man who was genuinely interested in other people. From the very beginning of his marriage to Ann, he fit into our family as if he had always been a part of it.

Ann, Sorry to read of Harry's passing. Know it's been a difficult road for you.
Love & peace,

What a guy! He knew how to make you smile at most anything! I have such great memories of Harry and my heart is saddened with his passing. There are few people on this earth of the same caliber as Harry Parkhurst and I consider myself very lucky to have known him. My heart and love to you Ann and Maura. xoxo Amy Pasmann

I will never forget Harry. He was a kind man, with a great sense of humor, and alot of wisdom. I will miss hearing his grumbles in the background as I talk to Maura on the phone. I know he was saying that we can't make up our minds...he was right! Ann and Maura we love you so very much and are here for you anytime. We will be praying for peace. And the service was beautiful. Harry would be proud!
Love,
Amy, Aaron and the girls

I feel blessed to have known Harry. He was a good man whom I respected and enjoyed. Sending much love and blessings to Ann and Maura.
