To the family of Mr. Harper:
I wanted to share my condolences with your family at the loss of your loved one. Reading about a small portion of he life, he certainly was not bound by borders. I am sure he enjoyed the life he lived and cared for those of his family and the friends and associates he came to know. May you, his family, find the courage to continue to comfort one another regarding his passing. May you also, please, accept the real hope and comfort provided in Jesus’ words and actions. In the Bible at John 11:11 to 45 the son of Jehovah God shows us what he shall do in our behalf so that we may enjoy life to a much fuller extent. I truly hope you gain encouragement from this Biblical account. Take care, one and all, and much fellow feeling towards you!
