Rev. Harold,

I will forever love and miss you. You hold a special place in my heart as "Worlds Best" brother-in-law.

Even tho we were miles apart I always knew you supported me and my family.

I thank God and You (Dee) for allowing me to be able to visit with you. I felt as tho you waited for me and I hurt because I couldn't come sooner.

I thank God for blessing our family and allowing you to be a part of it.

I know Mom, Seymore and all the other relatives and friends are rejoicing on your homegoing.

I ask God in prayer to bless and keep safe my wonderful sister Dee and just to be there to lighten her burden now and forever. I pray for All your children and ask God to watch over them daily.

Rest my beloved Rev. Harold for now and always in Gods eternal care.

I look forward to seeing all of you one day.

Your Sister-in-Law

To the daughters of Rev. Harold Freeman--Andrea, Yvette Marie, Yvette Marie and Dr. Kieya:

Your father would be so proud of all of you for the loving, kind way you have carried yourselves since his homegoing on August 30, 2002. Truly he loved all of you and is rejoicing from Heaven because of the way you have supported each other and myself during this trying period.

I'm sure we will always cherish his memory and continue to thank God for allowing a God-fearing man named Rev. Harold Freeman to come in our lives and be in our midst for such as a time as this.

Love always,

Mom (Dee)

"D": I can't begin to express just how much " The Preacher" will be missed. My mind went back to the times we spent all together and his fussing about me getting so excited about getting a point across and calling him "Freeman" privately and "Harold" publically. I also remember how you were there for me at a very difficult time in my life. My prayers are for God's strength and comfort for you.

Love Jenean
