To the Harris Family,
When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived, and that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Please except our heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Fred. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

From your Extended Family , Our Hearts go out to you in Love,and May God continue to comfort and keep you during this time.
