I was very fortunate to spend the last few months with Richard. He was a precious man. He was very good to me. I'll never forget all the loving compiments he gave me. He would always look at me with a great big smile. I miss him dearly.
He was very lucky to have two wonderful sons, Daniel & Douglas, who went above and beyond for their daddy! I love you guys and we will be celebrating in Heaven with him soon. God Bless You!
Revelation 21:4
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
Not only will families be reunited, but we'll all be in one big happy family—the family of God! And that family will live forever—with no more death, sorrow or crying!
Soon To Be,
Mrs. Laura Van Harren
I can't wait to carry on the Van Harren name!

I loved Dada like he was my own Dad. The last few months we shared stories of his childhood,his years in the Bahama's and even a dream or two. I will miss him forever. He had a infectious grin that would melt your heart. I hope heaven has lots of ice cream and beer and a few brownie dogs running around. I truely loved him.
