We were so sorry to hear of Harold's passing. He had been so kind to Monique when she was a little kid and she never forgot it. In fact, Harold was known by all of the kids in the neighborhood as 'the nice man down the street.' In this day and age, it takes a brave man to be kind to a child, but Harold's kindness was genuine and appreciated.
Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.
