Dottie,Paul,Scott,Kelly:
My life is much better for having Harry in it. He was my closest friend and my confidant. When I needed advice or just some one to talk to, he was always there to listen and give good council. Judy and I are thankful for him making her mothers' life very enjoyable. With Harry going home there will be a void in my life. But I know he is with those he loved and will be waiting for us.
