Dad, I believe you have received the best Christmas gift ever. Even though we are sad, there is great anticipation of meeting you again in our Father's house. Thank you for sharing your life with me! Love Steven - Posted by: Steven Fehr (Family) on: Jan 02, 2005

Dianne, Terrie and Tony, and the rest of the family. Our condolences on the loss of Harry. We were privileged to become acquainted at a care group, with Harry and Dianne and know Terrie and Tony from the same church. It is a difficult time, and we pray you will remember many good experiences with Harry. Ron lost his dad 2 years ago on Christmas day, so it is still very fresh in my mind. God's blessings on all of you! We just read that the memorial service was this morning and regret that we missed it. Ron & Anne - Posted by: Ron & Anne Derksen (Family) on: Jan 01, 2005
