Mr. & Mrs. Williams, Words cannot express how sad I am to hear of his passing. Though we only knew him for a short time he made an impact on our lives. He made us laugh. He was awesome with our boys and made some really good friends. Some of which we are still in contact with. May God bless you all and help you through this difficult time.
This poem was given to me in the receiving line at my mothers funeral many years ago. I don’t know who gave it to me(it was all a blur) but I find the words ring true even after 24 years.
TIME WILL EASE THE HURT
The sadness of the present days
Is locked and set in time.
And moving to the future
Is a slow and painful climb.
But all the feelings that are now
So vivid and so real
Can’t hold their fresh intensity
As time begins to heal.
No wound so deep will ever go
Entirely away
Yet every hurt becomes
A little less from day to day.
Nothing can erase the painful
Imprints on your mind
But there are softer memories
That time will let you find.
Though your heart won’t let the sadness
Simply slide away
The echoes will diminish
Even though the memories stay.
My heart felt condolences.

My condolences to the William family. Rip .:(

I am sorry to read of Harold passing. May your fine memories of him bring you comfort during this difficult time. Take to heart to what Jehovah God has had written in the Bible book of Acts 24:15 that “there is going to be a resurrection. ” May this promise from God, who cannot lie (Titus 1:2), give you hope and peace now and in the coming days.

I’m sorry. I did not know. I’ve been looking for him. Harold, I’ll always love you. You made my heart smile.
