Hello,
My name is Donna. I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Harold Shipp. Death of a dear love one is a painful and devastating time in which we all will experience. But God gives us a wonderful hope to mankind’s everyday anxieties. God’s word likened death to be a enemy that he will soon destroy. 1 Corinthians 15:26 God also is going to give all authority to his only begotten Son, Christ Jesus to bring those that died back to life again to a beautiful peaceful conditions on the earth. John 5:26-29 . As you keep these wonderful good news and blessings of future promises that is sure to take place, keep your love one Harold memories fresh in your mind because Christ Jesus will remember your love one too.
Sincerely yours,
A friendly Neighbor
Condolences to your family. May you receive comfort from God’s word during this time of loss. Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44.
Uncle Harold was a sweet and fun-loving person. Our family has lost a jewel and he will be missed. Aunt Ruby, Karen and Kevin, hang in there. I love you! Look to God for strength.

I worked with Harold at the ice rink during the 90s. He was an inspiration and teacher of many aspects of life. I am deeply saddened by the news he has passed. I will always remember him as being the funny and kind man he taught people to be. My condolences to your family and may he rest in peace.
love always,
