Marian, Dean and Christi,
I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Harold. He was such a dear friend to me, my parents and James. He was always willing to help any of us out when in need. His smile and stories will be missed but cherished in my heart forever. Hugs and Prayers as you go through this most difficult time. I am so sorry we didn't know before the visitation and funeral or we would have been there. Love to you all.
I'm so sorry to hear about Harold Gene. My prayers are with you all. Share the memories with each other. God Bless you all.
My memories go so far back of this precious child of God. He is the father of my first nephew! Hopefully I can attach a picture recently found of us. Well, don’t see a place to down load the picture, maybe later. Just know my family loves that man!
Our prayers are with the family and sorry we can not be with you. Harold was dear to us and will be missed. Only God can comfort you in this time of grief. We Love and miss all
Miriam & family,

So sorry for you all. Brother Harold will be missed.
I am praying for God to bring comfort to the family by the power of our Comforter, the Holy Ghost. Bro. Harold has been a friend of our family for many years. He is also a brother in the Lord. I am saddened by his passing.
Our deepest sympathy to Marian and all the family. We will miss Harold and his sense of humor. He always had an uplifting word even in his times
of pain and sickness. He definitely was one of the good ones!
Love and prayers,
Ken & Patricia Harris
