Bro. Barber will be greatly missed. He was such a good friend to my family and a devoted brother in Christ to my dad. He was dedicated to doing what our Lord had put him on this earth to do. He has joined my dad and all who have gone on before and they are all rejoiceing with our Savior. We are all Blessed for having known him. Look forward to seeing him on my big day.

I will always remember the days I spent at aunt ora mays house as a child .. Harold was a man of few words and I never remember hearing him say anything bad about anyone ... I think he spent his life building people and he did a good job ... I know his family that lived around him will miss his knowledge and prayers he gave but he will live on and still build them in the memories of his words he gave them ... I pray all are comforted in knowing he is with his 2 favorite people who walked this earth Jesus and his wife Shirley RIP cousin Harold your work is done
