Harold Kraker July 30, 2011
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. He was a very good friend of Joe's Dad in his last years as they would cut fire wood together and always sat in church together in Allendale. He lived a long full life and is now at peace.

My sympathies to the Kraker family. I remember playing with Lonna in the basement of their house in Allendale--we would usually play 'school'!! I would see Nancy in Wyoming every once-in-a-while. I will never forget my daughter being led away by Barb when
Keren had her tonsils out!! That was such a comfort to me!! May God comfort you all with His Spirit.
