Dear Jaime & other members of Harold’s family, Even though we will not be able to attend services, we will be with you in spirit. We send our deep sympathy to all of you. Uncle Wilmer & I were able to visit your dad & Jan back in ’91 on our way home from Florida. We were treated royally & I can still remember the steaks he served. We always enjoyed seeing all the children when we visited the farm. So many memories. May God be with you in the days ahead and always remember to Trust in the Lord. He has promised to always be with us and help us. Aunt Faye & family P.S. I don’t have an e-mail to write to anyone. Here is mine. fayehoffmann6@gmail.com
