Our prayer to God is for Him to comfort you with all the fond memories you have!

Dear Aunt Mary and Patricia,

Words are not adequate to express how sorry I am about the passing of Uncle Harvey. Though miles have separated us you all have always been a very special part of my good memories from my childhood and my young adult years. The sofa you gave us when Steve and I married 37 years ago is still a focal point in our home. Every holiday we miss the good times we had with you! One of my fondest childhood memories was spending the night at your home and watching my first ballet-Cinderella (on a little black and white TV), it was enchanting! We ate hot dogs that you cut in little pieces and served them to Patricia and me on beautiful little plates! Ballet or Cinderella always reminds me of that wonderful memory.

Paul shared, when Mom Passed away last year, that Uncle Harvey had the greatest impact on his life of anyone. He said "Unc always seem to understand and to know what to say or what not to say".

Mom loved him so much and now they are together.

Please know that our prayers are with all of you. I will call you in a few days. We love you and hope to see you very soon.

Susie and Steve Baumgardner
