In loving memory of my brother who left us all too soon -

Someone is missing.

Let this be a loving reminder

that someone is missing today.

Someone our hearts still hold onto as we travel along life's way.

Someone who made life so special for all of those who are here.

Someone who won't be forgotten but cherished from year to year.

And as we pause to remember, let us all fondly recall

how dearly each of us loved him and oh.....how he loved us all.

Loved and missed by sister, Linda and family

Harry was my step-father, but he was more than that to me. He was my father in my eyes. He has been there for me for the last 12/13 years of my life. I put him through a lot when I went to go live with him and my mother, but I grew to love him. We always had long talks about different things in life, and he has taught me a lot. I will miss hearing him tease me and will miss hearing him call me "Mo", which is the name he always called me. Harry had the life he wanted and I know he was very happy. I feel bad for my mom having to go through this hard time, but I want her to know that I am here for her whenever she needs me. Love you Mom. Love you Harry.
