Nancy, David and Carol,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father, Harvey. I first became acquainted with him when David was a member of the wrestling team. He enjoyed watching David, as well as the rest of the boys, compete. He was a great supporter of the program. I loved his sense of humor. I know you all will miss him dearly. Unfortunately I will be out of town at the time of his visitation, but i want you to know that I will be thinking about you all. May God Bless and keep you all.
Don Porter.

Truly,
Kent

Your Dad’s name came up this week as my Dad was pondering who he might still know at Immanuel. Sorry to learn that he was having difficulties and now has passed on. The heavenly choir is one terrific voice stronger. I so enjoyed singing with him and was happy to run into him and your Mom over the years since. Now they are together again. You are in my prayers.
