My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. My cousin Susan Leach told me of the loss. Another family member I didn't get to meet. My Dad Syril Morrow spoke so fondly of Harold after Dad's only visit to Michigan.

My best

Dear Aunt Betty, Sandy and Bill,

I am so sorry to hear about Harold's death. Harold will always be in my mind. I remember him sitting in a train, travelling around Germany and all over Europe and later on telling us about his observations in different stations and countries. He really enjoyed that, as he told me again, when I met him in Hesperia in the nineties.

You should know that we think of you and we send you healing thoughts and lots of love.

For the wise owl, who has sadly passed..

I will watch for your spirit along the blackberry path.

For we all know how you loved it so,

picking fresh berries in the dawn's early glow.

I will miss our early morning chats,

when you checked your favorite berry patch.

From a neighbor and a friend,

I will cherish and miss your stories...

that never seem to end.

And as the brambles bow,

and the berries ripen, just so...

I will know you are over there,

somewhere amongst the morning glow.

Our thoughts are with all of you.

We will miss Harold Too.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Dad's are special people, always larger than life. Him, as his brothers always stood tall in the community they loved. We'll miss him. At the round table with Bill or in the Black Berry patch with me.
