Harley



H + S wish to send Harley’s family their condolences and sympathy at this sad time,
After hearing about Harley being taken from this life, it’s so unfair, such a crime.
Remembering all Harley’s good qualities, his laughter, humour, charm and jokes,
Laughing as you remember what a character he was and how he occasionally hung out with the blokes,
Even though he has passed, his memories will live on in his children’s lives for eternity,
Yearly events will take place I’m sure when you might plant a tree or something in his memory as is meant to be.

Reassurance is what we are given from the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
In death Harley will be remembered from those who loved him the most,
Courtney and James his adoring children and Karen his beloved wife who was there till the end,
However all of them will need lots of extra loving care from family and friends,
And no-one can ever erase their memories of Harley, who he was and what he stood for,
Regardless of how many years pass, you will never forget how he fought the big war,
Don’t get depressed when you think of Harley’s passing, celebrate his life with joy and a smile,
Solitude you may feel at first but only for a while,             
Overcome with grief we understand now it’s the way Harley may Reign with his
New life in his maker’s house for eternity up in heaven and free from pain.
