So sorry for your loss Dorothy and family. Harold will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Harold you were a good man! You and Dorothy made a great couple and you are so kind-hearted. I remember you and Dorothy were the only ones that cared enough to let me know about a mutual friend’s passing. I shall miss you up in heaven, but remember, it is only temporary…I shall see you again, my friend. Please know that you are loved and missed on this earth. Dorothy and family my prayers and thoughts are with you. I am not able to do visitations or funeral for anyone these days, but I am thinking of you all and know that my heart hurts for all of you…RIP Harold.

Harold was one of the kindest and most sincere men I have ever known. May he rest in eternal peace with the assurance that his presence here on earth has left the world a better place for his family and friends and all those who were lucky enough to make his acquaintance. Love you Harold.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God’s sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subject to misery, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.
