Lorraine Gilmer wrote a sympathy message

“I am sorry for your loss, Harry has been on my radar as genealogist for years. I was checking my familytreeDNA and saw that Harry was related to my brothers DNA kit. We are 2nd cousins 2 x removed. I then went to my ancestry site to add the info of our DNA match and felt the need to google him. My condolences for your loss. Sincerely Lorraine Betts Gilmer”
