Sorry to hear about your husband, praying for you and your family at this difficult time. Dick is in a better place, but it is sad losing your better half. I worked with Dick for 27 years.

I'm truly sorry to hear of Mr. Harig's passing. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his wife and family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. And that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
