Our Thoughts and Prayers are with Nancy and the Family. Paul
I recently read about the loss of your dear loved one. Although we are not acquainted personally please accept my condolences. Psalms 90:10 says ‘in themselves the days of our years are seventy years; and it’s because of special mightiness they are eighty years…’ Amazing! Cherish the memories and the times you shared. May the God of comfort continue to be with you during this difficult time.
to the entire Harris family, I am very sorry to learn of your fathers’ passing. You have my sincere and deepest sympathies. May he forever Rest In Peace. God Bless
