Judy Johnson
Dear Doreen, Theresa & families:
I am writing this on behalf of Irene Finkbeiner…..
….who enjoyed so many times with Harry & Doreen and members of their family….whether at KFC or round a kitchen table at Theresa & Stephen’s. She knew that he struggled with difficult health issues of late and that it was time for peace and rest from those, even though the loss would be great for all who loved him so dearly.
With sympathy for all those who have lost husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and good friend…..
In faith,
JJ on behalf of IMF
Judy Johnson
Thinking of you all at this difficult time of loss —
We will always remember Harry very fondly – a gentle man with a quiet manner, dry sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye….we feel fortunate that we got to know him and share good times over the years.
He showed such grace and courage dealing with health in recent years. His journey here is over but we take comfort in believing that another has only just begun for him…..
With prayers and sympathy,
Barry & Judy Johnson
