Condolence: Dad; I’ve never really known pain and heartache until now. This world is a much colder and darker place without you. We have all lost a great mentor. We all said you talked too much but now I would do anything to hear your voice just once. When the room gets silent I try to listen for you to tell me you made it to heaven and everything is going to be fine. It’s almost your birthday here and I learned how to play happy birthday on my violin for you, you will have to stop in sometime to hear it! Have I told you I loved you today? I love you Dad, I will tell you today and every day forward. I miss you greatly Dad, this world needs more people like you. A few weeks ago you said I’m the only one that gets you and I feel the same way about you. I’m going to miss your humor the most. It’s only been a few weeks you have been gone and I already have so much to tell you, I don’t understand how I’m going to handle as time goes on. I love you Dad, you are my Hero! Mom; you are so strong and I’m proud to call you my Mom! I love you too so very much and you never have to worry about feeling alone or lost because we can hold your hand through this incredibly hard time. You are never alone. We promised Dad we would take care of you and that promise will never be broken. You can lean on us. We love you to the moon and back. Love Rylan, Levi, Matthew and Krystle Harder.

Condolence: Mel; the day you passed this world lost a very funny, caring and compassionate person! I never got to know you as well as I would have liked. But what I did know of you you were a very interesting person to listen to.. I always told Cassidy I could sit and listen to him talk all day! I hope you are at peace and pain free now! You will be very missed Mel

Condolence: The day I lost you Dad, I not only lost my Dad, I lost my friend, my confidant & my unsung hero. Thank you for always making time for me when I called. I could talk to you about anything and everything.  Your knowledge and advice shall always be instilled in me. And all the stories and laughter shall remain in my heart. Those special conversations between you and I...... Although I lived far away because of our many, hours long conversations, I felt as though I lived right there. The only distance between us were the miles. I am so thankful that you held on for me to see and talk with you one last time.  I will forever cherish the last words you said to me and I'm so grateful I was able to hold your hand towards the end.  Dad you taught me to be strong, sorry for letting you down, this is just much harder than I had expected. But I promise to keep trying. I love you more than words can express.  Dad, you gave me the greatest gift anyone could give......your belief in me.  When I feel the warm sunshine on my face, I will feel your touch. Until we are together again....Love & Miss you Dad. xoxo Love forever your daughter.
