James & Family, Gordon and I are deeply saddened for you and your family at this time. Know God is in control, and Mr. Harper is looking down on you all smiling with pride, walking on streets of gold in a brand new body. If we can do anything please let us know.

Mrs Helen and entire family I want to express my deepest sympathy to each of you, and let you know you are in my prayers and thoughts. I am very sorry for your grief you are experiencing but as Christians we know that God carries us through these times and I know you feel HIS presence. I wish I could be there with you but because of circumstances beyond my control right now I can't but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to everyone in the Harper Family.
