Your booming voice, And your smile,Your hugs so filled with love, And the excitement you showed when you preached about the Father up above,These are some of the things we will miss when we think of you, But we know that if we live like you told us to do, Then one day we can be together up in heaven too. Love Rusty and Jeannie.

Dear Agnes, So sorry to hear of your loss. My heartfelt sympathy to your and your family. My grandfather, Andrew Stewart, was Harold's uncle. I can barely remember being at your home, as you used to baby sit me while my mother, Irene Stewart, worked. I was probably three or four years old. I hope that you will take comfort in knowing that he is going to be all right and very happy. Again, with deepest sympathy, Vicki Baldridge (Modesto, CA)
