Most of my most favorite childhood memories included you Poppy. Whether it was at the fur vault, in a campground, at your house in Freeport or your house in Virginia.. You always made sure us kids were having fun and making memories. You will be greatly missed by not only me, but by so many whose lives you touched. I miss you and love you.. May you rest easy, surrounded by those you love, who have passed on before you. xo
First of all, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Michelle and family. I am sending you comfort and prayers during this sorrowful time. No words do I have to take away your pain or fill that empty space in your heart, but please know you are not alone. It is my sincere hope that the family can take solace in knowing dear Harry is no longer suffering and is in the care of our dear Lord. I met Harry two years ago at Heritage Hall. He and my dearly departed father were roommates for nearly two years. I saw Harry practically every day. He would smile at me, nod, and even sometimes speak to me in Greek. His face would light up when I brought him a treat. He loved his sweets. However, nothing could compare to the joy he felt when he had visits from his family. I can still see Jackson and Natalie sitting on his lap or pushing his wheelchair. Nothing is more joyful than a grandpa's smile.
It is a difficult thing to see our loved ones languish, so we must rejoice in knowing they are in the Lord's eternal care. Maybe Harry and my father are roommates once again and looking over us. My prayers will remain steadfast. Memories are forever. Bless you all today and all days to come. Julie
