    Our sympathy to Harold and all of you children. We only knew Harold and Leona and didn't have the opportunity to meet you children but we know how you must be feeling at this time following the passing of you Mom. We ate with them many times over the years and knew things were getting harder for her all the time. Harold, you did your best trying to take care of her at home and we know that she will be missed by you more than words can say. May God's blessings be with all of you as you mourn her passing, And may you receive His comfort as well. Joan & Richard Porter
