I had the honor of calling him daddy even though he wasn't my biological dad. I know God put him in my life for a reason. I will miss him. I will never forget the lectures and him telling me "Do as I say ,not as i do".
Toya and Rubin thanks for sharing your dad.
He helped me find my soulmate.
I will never forget the times he went to church with me even though he didnt want to miss his service at Trinity. He loved his church.
God Bless you all and I pray you will find peace through this all. He is in a better place now.

To The Harris Family & Friends;

God saw Boo getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So he wrapped his arms around Boo,
and whispered, "Come to me."

He didn't deserve what he went through,
So he gave him rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best

And when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
We could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
Tell Granny we said "Hello" Boo.

From Your Girls ,

Love Always,
Sharonda, Francine, Bridget

Sorry to hear of your loss. He was a good person. He will truly be missed.
My wife was truly blessed by him,in more ways than one. He was her angel.
Tapdance down memory lane of all the times you shared with him and just laugh. He truly use to make me laugh.
To God Be The Glory.
Take Care.

I had the pleasure of calling you
daddy even though you were not my biological dad. You will truly be missed. We love you but God loves you best.
I will never forget your kindness during your earlier years nor will I forget your lectures. Because of you I married my soulmate. I'll never forget you saying 'Do as I say ,not as I do". I said to myself , huh he really thinks he's my dad.
Thank you for your love.
Thanks for the times you went to church with me even though you didn't want to miss your service at Trinity.You loved that church.
God Bless you and keep you.
Toya and Rubin thanks for sharing your dad.
