I was so sorry to learn of your loss. Harold
was such a good friend of my husband, Bud,
for many years. I was able to know both your dad and mom about the time Bud and I
married in 1996. They were lovely people
and I very much enjoyed their company on
many different occasions. You all are in
my thoughts during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Linda Nixon

To Harold's family,
Any time that we lose loved one this is certainly a difficult time. May the precious memories you shared together, help you cope and bring you peace. May the scripture found at 1 Thes. 4:14 bring you some comfort knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be reassuring. May the God of peace be with you and your family during this time.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Harold.
He was a good friend of mine and I will sadly miss the old fart. He was always kind to me and always took time out to talk with me (I think we might have solved some of the world problems)Just remember he will always be around in our mind and hearts.
