Dear Peggy, Wayne & Lisa,
It is very hard to put into words the sadness of this time. My prayer is that you will find comfort and strength in the One that knows what is best. As I was listening to this song this morning the words are so true, "My eyes are on You, My hope is in You, My faith is in You, God of my days, the King of my nights, Lord of my laughter, soverign in sorrow, You're the Prince of my praise, the love of my life, You never leave me, You are faithful, God of my days." The one thing I remember most is how Mr. Harris liked to sing - I trust he is singing to the audience of one today.
Love and Prayers,

Lois

Miss Peggy:

I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Hollis's passing. I know you will sorely miss him. He was always so good and kind and thoughtful and always a pleasure to deal with both at the phone company and in the office. We know that even though he is rejoicing in Heaven today, our human minds want him here with us. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. He will be sorely missed. Love, Lisa Agee
