Not sure what to say?

Dear Eileen ,and all of your family. I am so sorry for your great loss. I will miss Mr. Harris and all his e-mails. He was such a fine man and a gentleman. i will always remember him and how you both made me feel at home.

June,
Sorry to hear about your Dad. For the few times I conversed with him(or just listened, frankly)he was very passionate about world news, politics, and just about anything life had to offer.
I know you had been a great advocate for his continuing care and I hope he is resting peacefully knowing he had you around.
God Bless!

Dear June, I remember meeting your dad last year and enjoyed having him show me his "internet connections". I thought it was marvelous that someone his age had found a great way to stay in touch with the many friends he had made in his lifetime. He will certainly be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

June, I visited with your dad when he came to my mom's memorial service in April. He and my dad had a long talk. We all appreciated the effort he made to come and see dad.My thoughts and prayers are with you, your mom, and all of your family at this sad time.

I remember Mr. Harris as such a happy guy. I am so sorry for your loss.

Eileen, so sad to hear about Richard. Dona and I think of you two often.

I have such wonderful memories of Mr. Harris. Your home was always so much fun to visit when we lived on Adams St. You could feel the warmth just wrap around you when you walked in the door. Even when my family moved from city to city or state to state when the "New Britain Bridge Club" got together it was like we had just seen everyone last week. My thought and prayers are with you. He was a wonderful man and a good friend to my parents.
