Dear Fran and Joey

Some of my best times as a kid were spent at the cabin with your family. Mr. Harrison was one of my favorite people. He always made you feel at home. He had a great smile and an even greater laugh. I'm so sorry for your loss. It is such a loss for anyone that was blessed to know him. I'm even more sorry that the wake had to be on Joeys birthday. (There are some dates you never forget no matter how old you get.). May he Rest In Peace and my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.

My grandpa was a great man who served our country in many ways, in the army, police, and fire department. He was always so thoughtful of everyone. He loved all sports and traveled all over the world. I hope to achieve as much as he did. We all love you grandpa. Rest easy
