Dear Bernice and family:
We are deeply saddened at the passing of Harry! It seems like I have known him and you all of my life! His passing is like losing a member of my own family! We really enjoyed hearing him play the piano every Sunday morning in bible class! He was always a delight to talk with! He will truly be missed at Peace Church! We continue to keep you and your family in our prayers and thoughts. God Bless you all!

Greetings from a long time admirer of Harry and you Bernice. I really got to know you all well when he was Sunday School Superintendent at Gethsemane and I was a teacher, so long ago. I was, also, the fellow that would pick up Delores and take her to Walther League meetings.Such fond memories.
May God bless and keep you always as He has promised, That we CAN count on.
In our Saviors name
