Harry (on the left with Hubby on the right) was a snowbird from Illinois who starting attending our church a few years ago. Over the years, we were able to get to know Harry and become friends with his family in Texas.
Of course, being from Illinois made Hubby feel even stronger about this special man. Perhaps Hubby likened him to his own father. Harry loved all the hymns and knew all the liturgy and prayers. He always had a smile and was so proud of all his family.
One year when Harry left to go back to his own home for the summer, he said to Hubby,
"Well, if I don't see you here again, I'll see you at the gate."
As we go through life, we don't really meet too many people like Harry. If we did, it would be Heaven right here on earth!
Good Bye, dear friend!
