Last night as I was getting ready to go to sleep I heard a sound I had not heard before. As I listened it seemed to be a mixture of several voices singing. Then the picture cleared and I saw a young handsome man with a huge smile and perfect teeth running toward the crowd and Jesus himself there with open arms waiting to receive him with a fresh set of wings. And so it was happening and this young man got his wings and joined the chorus of angles singing with them in a loud enough voice it could be heard here on earth. And then it started to rain and it was tears of joy flowing down from this chorus as all were united again with this man who loved them all unconditionally and never forgot them. After this I fell into a deep sleep and rested knowing all was well with Harry.
Denise and I are deeply sorry to hear about the death of Harry. During this time of grief may your loving memories of his tenderness and bigheartedness bring you comfort, peace and strength.

Bobby, Bryant, Lori and Atty, I am sorry that I will not be making it home for the funeral. We did visit Harry when we were home for Christmas. At some point he did get to meet the rest of my gang. I will miss Harry and his big hugs. Those arms of his were so strong from getting around on the crutches. We will continue to say our prayers for Harry and you all. I wonder if he is tired of my Dad teasing him yet. Aunt Charlotte will be there to keep them both in line. Our love to all.

Thinking of the whole family as you say goodbye to your beloved Harry! God bless his soul and all of you.
The Lord will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes; the Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness…O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. (Psalms)
In my heart I am certain that Harry is not only upright and strong, but the most handsome man in heaven.
Here’s a story that needed sharing. One of my friends from HS saw Harry’s picture on my FB site (thanks James Tarr). She messaged me saying she recognized him from where her mother in law was staying. She said Harry always made her smile when she went to visit. Our love to all.

Harry was an inspiration for our congregation at Bell Chapel, his love for people and God were evident in his life. He loved for flowers to be placed on the alter in memory of his mom, and they were to be red white and blue. He will be missed I was out of town or would have been there a true friend. Rev.Jeff Proya
