Evelyn – How very sad we are at the passing of your wonderful husband. We have such beautiful memories of our time with you both in Maryland when we were in college. While we are grateful that his suffering has ended – what a vacant spot is left on this side for you and those who knew, loved, and deeply respected Harold. You and your family will be in our prayers over the coming weeks and months. Your beautiful life together of over sixty years is precious, making the loss very profound, we’re sure. Blessings and peace we pray for you and your family.
Much love and respect,
Tim and Sallie Culbreth

Aunt Evelyn and children,
We are so thankful for the part that Uncle Harold played in our lives. Always being an encouragement and an example of someone putting others before himself.
May the LORD be your comfort now and as you move on without him.
Blessings, Wallace and Linda
