Naples, FL Sunday, June 8, 2025 Harold and family, sending prayers during your time of great sorrow. My family loved Carolyn as both she and you have been great Christian friends and helped our family over the years. You and Carolyn always had a smile and a helping hand for my parents, Rev. and Mrs. Leslie Hoppers. I remember watching TV at Carolyn's parents house with my brother Phil as young children when our family didn't have a TV to watch. Carolyn was a kind person who helped many. She will be remembered. God bless you and your family.Jerrod James
San Antonio, TX Sunday, June 8, 2025 As a youth, you had faith in my when nobody else did, including myself, and acted as a second mother to me. Your kindness, compassion, and empathy was second to none. I literally owe who I am today to Mr. Harold and your actions you took to help me 20 years ago. On family day, from graduation basic training, back in 2005 you were there to support when me when I had no one. The world would definitely be better if it had more of you to go around.Dr. Neich Robinson, Jr.
