"I?m very sorry to hear of Uncle Harold?s passing. He was a great man, and I?m lucky to always be able to count him as my family member. He had an endearing personality, and a good sense of humor. I?ll miss seeing him every year at the family reunion up at the Chicken House whittling away at a piece of wood, but I know he?s with Aunt Nina Jo and all the rest of the Qualls family. God bless and much love from your cousin - John Power of Franklin, Tennessee"
