Toot, Sharon and Family,
There never has been and never will be another on this earth like Harold. From as far back as I can remember, you have always been a part of my life. When I wasn't at home, I think I was at your home and I always felt loved. You and Harold were my second parents and Sharon was always like a Sister. I could not love you more. When Steve met you, he felt the same way. What a blessing you guys have been. This is a great loss to this world but to know that Harold closed his eyes for the last time here and opened them to see the face of Jesus, is the ultimate JOY. He no longer has to wonder what tomorrow holds and all of you are in our prayers. To someday join him and my Mom and Dad will be worth it all. God's Peace and Love to you all.
Steve and Debra Moose Byers - Statesville, NC
