To the entire Blazer family: My condolences to the entire family. Harold was one of the nicest residents i ever had at the nursing home. Harold and i had a long talk last week and he told me he lived a good life and was ready for what the good lord had in store for him. He gave me a thumbs up on that one. I told him on Saturday i won't be at work on Sunday and Monday but i hope to see him on Tuesday and he said "maybe" and he gave me another thumbs up..What a guy!! I am truly gonna miss him,always had a smile for me...Take care and God bless
