Hello Aunt Theresa (and David, Jimmy, Judy, and Robin).
We are so sorry for your loss. We will always remember Uncle Harold as an articulate, fun, man of integrity. We so enjoyed our summer vacations when we were able to hang out together!
We still have 30 more years to reach the incredible 68 years of your devotion to each other and your precious family.
