Dear Martina, Hank, Kathleen, William, Henry, Brenda and families
So sorry to learn of Richard?s accident and subsequent passing. We were over at Joe and Delores?s for supper on Easter Sunday and we were talking about when we had seen Richard last. We recalled the antics of Richard and his siblings when they were younger and at the farm.
We know that when an accident occurs it takes awhile for the body to adjust to the suddenness of the death. It took us by surprise when Delores called us.
We wish that we could attend the funeral and see all of you but our cows are calving and Alan is seeding. The life of a farmer?there are just some times of the year that we can?t get away from the farm.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad time.
Love Alan, Irene, Heather and Blair Harty
