Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

  • Dear Betty, we heard of Harold's passing through a friend who saw it in the paper. Our sympathy to you and your family in this loss. You and Harold were such a well suited couple. The years just added to the richness of your relationship. I last saw you at Aunt Ella's 90th birthday. I'm so glad we had that chance for a little visit. May God give you peace and comfort at this time. We are in Florida at this time, or we would certainly have been at the service. Love, Wayne and Elaine (Born) Enns - Posted by: Wayne and Elaine Enns (Cousin) on: Feb 04, 2013

  • Well, I'll never forget the good times and laughs we had playing hearts in the back room at Harold and Betty's house, and Harold Laughing that deep chuckle he gave out as he or someone else would lay down the "Gruna Mumsha". If you ever met Harold and Betty it only took one minute to realize that the love they shared was something any couple would envy. I pray me and my wife can grow old together the way they did. Thoughts and prayers from Kyle, Norine and family. - Posted by: Kyle and Norine Vogt (Long time, and forever friends.) on: Jan 28, 2013
