I wanted to say I’m so sorry for the loss your family is feeling at this time. If you need me to do anything, pass along any messages to Chrystal, anything like that please feel free to call me & I’ll do whatever needs to be done. I know I’m all the way in Georgia but I’ll do whatever I can. Please know that Chrystal is okay. I’ve spoken with her several times since I called y’all for her last week. She’s holding in there okay, she’s just worried about y’all, especially y’all’s Mom. Once again, if there’s anything you need me to do, any message to pass along, anything, please just call me, email me, message me on FB, whatever. I’ll be sure it gets done. Sabrina

Please accept my humblest condolences. Harold was one in a million! Every time I saw him, I thought of him being the Frazer School Bus Driver. He was always nice and I swear he never aged.
