Condolences
The family of Harold Dean Paulson has received the following condolences.
I worked with Harold for many years in the OR, he was great worker and well respected but what I remember most about Harold was his great sense of humor. I missed him at work and and I'm sure he will be missed by family and friends, he was a great man.
My dear friend in Christ Harold, what a blessing his love for the Lord. No greater thing can be said about any of us when our time comes.
SEE YOU IN THE SWEET BYE AND BYE
KAY
Marlene and family,
God bless you all in your time of sorrow. A better next door neighbor could not be found. He was always there to help me if I needed something. I'll never forget him meeting me over the fence with several green tomatoes from his garden as he knew I liked fried green tomatoes! He also helped with critter control in our yards. We used to enjoy some fun evenings playing cards together with my Mom too.
I hope you each hang onto all the good memories and laughter shared over the years. God gathers the BEST for his garden too!
Kay
He was a wonderful person and will surely be missed.
God bless you and comfort you at this time. God now has a heavenly plan for Harold. Much Love for you all at your time of Sorrow.
Dawn, David, Marlene and the family,
I love you.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of our salvation, who daily loads us with benefits. Psalm 68:19
