Dearest Eloise,

Your precious Harold was loved by so many and missed by all of us. God bless and strengthen you daily. He is with the saints in heaven. We love you and know your faith and trust in Jesus will pull you through these sad days. His service to Walnut Hills Baptist and the entire community was much appreciated through the years.

Much Love, Faye, Amy & David Colley & children, and Alan Jenkins

Dear Eloise,

It was with deep regret that I read of Harold's passing. You may not remember me, but I worked under Harold at BASF. He was a wonderful man, as you well know. My prayers are with you.
