Flora, Kevin and Barbara and family,

Please accept our condolences for the loss of Harry. He was a wonderful friend and committed Christian. We enjoyed singing with him in the choir. I enjoyed his sense of humour and friendship.

Hello to the Taylor clan. On behalf of the Millers from Winnipeg I wanted to offer our sincerest condolences on Harrys passing. The memories we have as children at Baralbredon are everlasting and the reception we received when we visited Calgary in 1996 was unbeleivable. Thanks for the Memories HO, Pat, Bob, Gord and Donna

Hi!

My deepest sympathy for you Flora and your family. I did not know him well just from Church, You both sat behind me most of the time. I lost my mom this year and perhaps we shall meet them on the other side where heaven is or the remodeled earth. Take care, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
