Dear Helen and families,
I am so sorry for your loss, I know that this is a very hard time and that you have a big void in your life. Many people tell me to remember all of the good memories. You are very blessed to have had Harold as long as you have. We both know that mother and Harold are not suffering any longer and will have eternal life without any more sickness. I think of you often and pray that our faith will see both of us through this difficult time. Your friend, Carolyn Young

Dear Helen, Don, and Debbie, We are so sorry for your loss, but it is heaven's gain. He IS a wonderful man and cousin. I only regret I was not around much to enjoy him. I do have such good memories of visits as a child with your grandparents, Stella and Paul, when they would come to the Rebers. And in later years, meeting both Helen and Harold and Don and Debbie. Bob was always such a help at the farm. God bless Harold and all of us, as He always has.
