Dear Eileen,

Please accept my sincere condolences for the sudden loss of your dear husband, Harry last week. We can only imagine what a shock it must be to you.

As you know, You & Harry and our famoly go back more than 30 years both as friends and neighbors. Not only was he a great person but an excellent neighbor with whom we spent many memorable days with. He had an amazing sense of humor and was a gifted storyteller. In dealings Harry was always straightforward and honest. In short, your husband was an exceptional friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Sincere condolences,

Kathy Reichstadt Foster, Koby, Missy, Shelly & Rodney

Harry was a kind, caring, and generous man. He was great at making everyone laugh too. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. I am so glad both of you have been part of my life. My deepest sympathy goes out to you during your grief. 

Dear Eileen,

Eileen,

I know you don't have a computer, but Macken's will print this for you.  I just want you to know you are loved, and needed, and my world is way better because you are in it.  I know you are a strong, capable human being and you will push on because that's how you are made.  Just know you are not alone. Like it or not you are stuck with us.  You have always loved us unconditionally.  Without shame.  Without reservation.  We love you the same way.

I'm not only a better card player for having Harry in my life, but I'm a better person for it. God has taken Harry from our world, but leaves him in our hearts.  This is the first big loss of my life where he wasn't there, and yet he still is. He's part of who I am. Part of who all us kids are.

When things were at their worst and my family was falling apart, Harry helped hold us together.  He could do that because you held him together. 

My heart is heavy with it's own loss, but it breaks for yours,

Weener
