I have just learned of the loss of Harry. My mom spoke kind of him often and I think highly of your family....I don't know if Cindy remembers being my teacher Freshman year, but have told my daughter before of the guy who used to sit behind her Grandma in school and the fact that his daughter became my teacher in high school ....My prayers are with you and your family
