Dearest Anne and the Ebeling Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Although we didn't spend much time around GranHo, Christa has told us much about him and what a wonderful man and grandfather he was! We will be remembering all of you in our thoughts and prayers! May God Bless you GranAnne and give you strength during these days. Much love, The Streebin Family (Adam's family) Perry, Kristi, Alyssa and Savannah

I just saw the obituary in the Dallas Morning News. I am so sorry for your loss. Your family was a part of my childhood, growing up across the alley when you were on Chiswell and we were on Buxhill. It seems like Harold could do a pretty good "Woody Woodpecker" imitation (maybe I'm remember wrong, but I think he did). I think I only saw you all once since you moved to OK, but I do remember you all as a part of my upbringing!
