Support the Harry Family
Donation protected
Our community is feeling a great loss with the passing of Norm Harry. Norm began his journey on the morning of August 11th surrounded by his loved ones on his homelands of Kooyooe Pa'a. Norm shared his kindness, love of land, and knowledge with so many. His daughter Autumn and his wife Bev, whom Norm was incredibly proud of, were kind enough to share him with all of us. And we are all better for it. Norm will be dearly missed.
Please share or donate to help Autumn and Bev with funeral costs and and other unforeseen expenses ahead. This family has brought so much warmth and goodness to our community. It is time for us to support them.
Words from Autumn:
"The male rains soothe the lands as we say poonedooa (see you later) to our father, husband, son, brother, and friend. This morning, my dad Norm Harry passed peacefully in his homelands of Kooyooe Pa'a. He began his spiritual journey surrounded by loved ones and was sent off with medicine, songs and prayers.
We can't thank creator enough for placing him on this earth to be our protector and knowledge-keeper. We're incredibly thankful for his life teachings, his dedication to the protection of water and fisheries. The past few months in quarantine have turned into the most precious moments spent with e na'a. Every day we laughed, fished, tended to our garden, and talked about the preservation of our homelands. I will continue to remember all these moments and carry his teachings forward the best way I can.
Please send prayers for my mother, grandmother, my dad's siblings, and all of our relatives. We're all hurting and will be hurting for a long time."
