Not sure what to say?

Back in the days, Haroldee, Her son Eddie ( he was about 2 then. Cheryl (Banana Woman ) Stallings ( 8 months pregnant with her daughter Elon ) Paula Averbach ( stopping off in Boston to see her boyfriend ), and me, decided to take a trip to NYC to see Rudy Kocevar for the weekend.

Off we went in Haroldee' s 56 Buick with no back seat on an adventure I bet none of us forgot. We drove to Sarnia, Canada and drove straight North 350 miles before we realized we were on the wrong...

Sympathy to all family and friends. So sorry to learn of Haroldee's passing.

Haroldee I remember from TC Heights grade school and some from high school. I recall her as a free spirit. So sorry to hear of her passing. Love and light to her family and host of friends.

Here's Haroldee and Rudy along with Paula and Tom and Doug camping it up in the year book 1963

Our heart and love go to all those dear people that have had such a great loose.

We ment in tenth grade. She was an actress, me a conservative boy from Catholic school. Boy did she teach me a thing or two!
Ruth, the leader of the pack... Rudy, the instigator...
Glenn, the follower...
Traverse City Senior High was never the same after the reveiw of "Rebel Without a Cause"!(neither was the school paper,The Black and Gold!)
I miss you, Dear, I wish we stayed as close as we were "way back then".
My condolences to you, Kelly,Dale and Jon....

She took me under her wing while I was at Interlochen; I was dealing with both being very far from home and having family problems. I was coralled into Thanksgiving dinner, learned to like apple wine, and was given a shoulder to cry on. I regret not contacting her again these last months. See ya on the flip side, Haroldee.

Haroldee was a remarkable woman who influenced many. She will be missed. May others continue her good works as the best kind of remembrance possible.

I want the family to know that I am blessed to've known Haroldee. She was the type person God desires us all to be. She was such a kind and loving person who cared for all his creations. God bless you. May he give you the stength to endure your loss.
