Verna Mae,

I just received news of Harold's passing.

I will never forget his generosity and service to me as the "new guy" at FHCC as he built me some bookshelves for my office. He was gifted with hands that could build or fix anything.

I will also never forget how much he enjoyed teasing me. You and Harold were a true blessing to the Nelson family. Our hearts are heavy with the loss, but, I am sure he is building something or working on a lawn or garden in heaven. Just between you and me, I bet he even snuck his license plate into heaven that says, "Get in. Sit down. Shut up. Hold on." : )

Blessings to you all.

He will be missed dearly by my son, his great grandson, Bradley. Even thou I became divorced from his grandson, he and Verna Mae always treated me the same. My thoughts will be with the family as you go thru this tough time. God Bless
