Harry Kapusianyk left us November 23, 2011, one day before his 84th birthday.
"You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they have lived.
You can close your eyes and pray they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you cannot see them
Or you can be full of the love you shared"
