Sherrie and Mark: You probably won't remember me, but Sherrie and I were piano duet partners at EZ Music for several years.

I just passed the familiar Ramar sign on my way to church this morning and read the sentiment regarding your dad. Mere words seem so completely inadequate right now. Please accept heartfelt condolences from my dad and I on your tremendous loss.

I will keep you all in my prayers.

Sending much, much love to Mark, Kathy, Sherrie, Bill and Sandy. Harry was my godfather and I loved him very much. I am so very sorry that I could not be there, but in his memory I have made a generous donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease Research. I'll never forget his smile, his humor, his generous nature and his love for his family.

For my dear cousin's family, I am so grieved to hear of your loss. So many memories of "Jr.", as he will always be to me. Wish I was there to share your grief and maybe lift your spirits a little with the many stories I can remember. Loved him like the brother I never had...

Dear Sandy,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Although I have only lived next door to you and Harry for 2 years, I knew right away what good people you are. I will miss seeing Harry outside getting some fresh air when I leave. If you need anything I am here.
