Uncle Harold was a very special person in our life. His loving heart, soft smile and words of wisdom are only a few of his great qualities. There is not enough paper in the world to list them all. Your presence will be missed but the memories will always be with us. Bea and family, know that we are thinking of you today, sorry we cannot be there. We pray you will find this time to reflect on God’s love for Uncle Harold and his love for you today and the days to come. with all our love! Diane and Rodger
ps. will always remember Scott calling Harold a little s(sugar) h(honey) i(ice) t(tea) when we visited you in St. Cloud. Love those memories.
Difficult times for those who remain where we feel pain and loneliness. He is now where those things are not even a memory. Take comfort in knowing that he is still around and present in your life through your memory and experiences. His name will not be forgotten to you.
My thoughts and prayers to the entire Affeldt family. He will be truly missed.
Rest assured know he is in a much better place,and no longer suffering.
He will remain, Your gaurdian angel watching over all. He and Bonnie will have many good talks about all the good times we all shared.
Prayers to all.
