    We knew Harold & Stella to be wonderful friends and neighbors. Harold was always fussing with things around the house but always willing to stop and take time to visit, to chat about the way the lawn was looking this year or what his next project might be. You are in our prayers and we are relieved to think you are now and will forever be resting in piece. We were blessed to have you in our lives. Your friends next door, Mark, Sandy, Nicholas, and Sabrina.
