You were the best dad a girl can ask for Harry Meadows. Hearing the news of your passing was a hard pill to swallow.
I still remember the times you brought me to see your family. But now I’m here with them discussing this tragedy.
I know we didn’t get to talk much, and our last conversation was in May. Now all I want is to call you to stay.
The memories I have of you I will always hold. I will miss you just the same when I was 8 years old.
There will be no services.  Mason-Gelder Funeral Home Inc. Jeannette, PA entrusted with arrangements.
