My condolences to Mrs. Snyder with the loss of Harry. I have many fond memories of Harry, especially on Saturday mornings when I would be out working the garden and Harry would come chat with me, I will miss those talks.
If there is any thing I can do please do not hesitate to ask.
Your weekend neighbor, George Hill

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
