I am so sad to hear about my master gardener friend Harold. He gave me several amaryllis bulbs last year. When they bloom in my garden each year, I will remember what a great, kind and generous man he was. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Evelyn and kids, I am so very sorry to hear of Harold’s passing. I know you are feeling the raw loss right now, but I hope time and fond memories of the good times and the incredible personality, curiosity and dedication that Harold possessed bring more smiles than tears as the days go by. I did not know about Harold’s services until after they were done, so I am sorry I cannot be there in person.
With sincerest sympathy,
Teresa Taylor
