Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Tim, My heart felt sorrow goes out to you and your wife. The world is a lesser place without your father. However, I know he is with God and all the angels and Heaven has improved by his presence. You will be in my prayers and thoughts.
I wanted to say how much my wife (Karen) and I have appreciated Harry (and Martha’s)friendship thru the years when we first started attending First Church. We came there in 1985 and Harry was our first Sunday School teacher. He made us feel right at home and was genuinely interested in us and our family. We will never forget his friendship over the years.
Martha, We were sorry to miss seeing you at the funeral service yesterday. It was a meaningful time of Christian celebration for a life well lived. May the Lord continue to bless the influence and legacy of this good man and our friend–Harry Lytle. You will be in our prayers.
Dear Tim and Family: I am so sorry to hear about Harry’s passing…..I know it was a long road for you here at the hospital….I will try to make it to the viewing tonight, but if I don’t please accept my prayers….I will celebrate a Mass here in the chapel for Harry’s soul…..Also Sister Mary Ann Grates from Michigan sends her regards, she will try to visit with Tim when she comes to Wichita in June…..May God be with you….Father Steve Gronert
We’ve known Harry’s son Tim better than Harry, but we are appreciative of the man Tim has become and we appreciate him a lot. Our hearts go out to the Lytle family in this part of their journey. Our prayers reach out to each one at the point of their greatest need to uplift and to encourage. God bless Harry. God bless his family. Chaplan Phil Lamar in behalf of Via Christi Chaplain Services.
Dear Martha and family: We are so sorry about the passing of our wonderful friend Lytle. He was a warm colleague in everything that was good, including his church, MidAmerica Nazarene University, and his business. We will miss him in the bleachers at a MNU basketball games, and that great smile. We classify him as a great man, a thorough Christian man and friend. May God bless you all with comfort in our hope of a resurrection and reunion. We love you. Don and Adeline Owens

Martha, H.O., David, and Tim, Harry is home!! While we know you are already missing him, isn’t it marvelous to know that Harry is now rejoicing with his Savior?!

We are sad with you at his passing, Coach Rocky and Jo Lamar Olathe, KS
Martha and family, To say it simply, Harry was one of the nicest men I have ever known. My wife, Cindy feels the same way. I am saddened by his passing away and offer my most sincere condolences. May God be close to you during this trying time and give you comfort and strength. Larry and Cindy Nutt
