Harold was a loving husband, father and grandfather who loved gardening and being outdoors. He was very particular with his lawn which he kept in immaculate condition. God looked upon his garden and saw an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. Our precious Angel will be in our hearts forever.
