There was always a steadfast security in knowing you were always there for us and it is difficult to believe that you are gone. You were home to all of us and now that you are gone I realize that you and grandma were the anchors that kept all of us for drifting apart. I will never forget that at points in my life you were the saving grace I needed to get my life back on track.I am so grateful for the life I have and I know it is because of you that I have it. I will miss you for the rest of my life and I cannot express the depth of the sadness I feel and I know that my life will never be the same without you.

Grandpa, today was a bittersweet day for me. I wish we could have kept you with us a little longer, but I know it was time for you to move on. You are with Grandma and Daddy now, and you have waited a long time for that. We miss you to pieces already though! I am so grateful that I was able to see you a couple of weeks ago. Although you didn't get the opportunity to speak to me, I know what was in your heart and I know that you heard us. Until we meet again, know that you will be missed. Save me a box of doughnuts Grandpa, I LOVE YOU!

I am so deeply affected by the loss of my dear brother. His wishes were always for my success and we had a special bond despite the 20-year difference in age. I loved Harril, and he was my hero in my earliest memories. I will miss him more each day because he was such a kind and supportive individual. My God Bless him and all his family, especially Pam, Jason and Grace. Love you my brother and it breaks my heart to say goodbye.

Dear Uncle Harril, you may have been out of site but NEVER out of our hearts and minds. Save me a seat up there and we can try that wrestling match again. Lots of love forever.
