I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Harold's death. I have such fond memories of him. I remember visiting his farm as a child and Uncle Harold laughing because I was so scared of the cows. But I knew if he was with me I was safe. He was a warm, kind, and patient man. My heart felt condolences to Aunt Jane, Joyce, Carol, and Tim. I know you will miss him dearly. God Bless, Mary
