I will always remember Harold&s smile. It spoke louder than words. Most of my memories with Harold was when I was in High School with his daughters Taha and Lisa. I spent many a day and night at the Morris home. It was always filled with laughter, love and good times. Thanks, Harold, for being a great and loving father and grandfather, and a friendship dad to me. :) Thanks for letting the girls borrow your Ford Bronco so we could """"hang out"""".

May God bless and comfort your family during this time of sorrow. My love to all of you!

Barb & Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Barb in Medical Records back in 1980...so long ago. I have thought of you and your family over the years and even though I do not live in the area for many years, I still read the J&C. May God&s blessings and love surround you during this difficult time.
