Becky, Garry and I were saddened to hear of Harold’s passing. We have fond memories of getting to visit with him when our class of 1959 met for reunions. He was always a joy to be around. We missed seeing you the last time we were at worship while visiting Ruth and Jan. Praying for you and your family at this time of loss.

Becky, my dear Friend.
I am so sorry to hear of Harold’s passing. I think the loss you feel, after 58 years together, is being shared, to some extent, by everyone who knew you.
My prayer is that many happy memories will calm your heart and that God’s grace will sustain you! ?
