Oh, dear Harold, And yes, it is 'thanks for the memories' and so much more. We had a remarkable 'complementary' closeness, as you worded it, after our heavy losses in '99. Godspeed. Love, Lois

My sincere condolences to all Harold's loved ones. I was able to meet him for just a few minutes in Brewster and have a picture of him with Lois framed on the wall above my computer monitor. All best wishes for good memories to accompany your futures.
