Burnt Hickory Mimi Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I just got home from Jo Ellen's. Each family member had a memory of this humble man that we enjoyed sharing. He is my uncle, and I have spent many hours in the company of his family. Other than my own father, I have never met a man that is more respected than Harold! I've never heard him say an unkind word about anyone or anything! My prayers are with each of them, and I love them very much! Link to post Share on other sites

ktan458 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Though I married into this family, I have never felt more love and support from a group of people than the Corleys. They have always treated me as one of their own. I feel so blessed to have them all in my life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Link to post Share on other sites
