Dear Alice & Jeanne,
This is a sad day for us to learn of Harlin's passing into eternal life but also one of great joy that he is at home with his Lord and his beloved Geneva. We have wonderful memories of our visits in Pinetop. My grandchildren will always remember his "singing fish, Take me to the River". What a wonderful faith full gentle man. We will miss him and his short but delightful visits and his "Hi Neighbor" greeting. May the Lord's peace be with you during this difficult time. With Love and Sympathy.

We have lost another good Christian!
