I was saddened hear of Harlen's death, but am relieved that his long struggle with cancer is finally over. Although I never met Harlen, my mother(his cousin) would talk to me about her memories of Aaron & him as children in ND. Cherish the memories of Harlen and keep him close in your hearts. God bless you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Harlen's family,
Bruce and I extend our heartfelt sympathy to all of you.
We are so sorry we can't be there for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
The little time I spent with my (second) cousin Harlen left me with a good impression. I liked him and only wish I could have been able to know him better. Sadly, time and distance hadn't allowed for that.
I will always remember him and will be sure to tell our daughter about her double related relatives, including Harlen, as she grows up. Family is imortant. Hang in there.....things will get better...bit by bit.
