Sandra, Tracy and my Parker family. I was sorry to hear about William. We were at Destin where I know you have good memories of time spent with him and family. I hope you can feel comfort and peace like the calm of an ocean breeze blowing as the waves roll up on that sandy white beach.... Love, Barbara and Curt

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered come to me. With tearful eyes we watched you, and some saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly we couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best... Rest in Peace William Thomas Harrison "uncle Harry" Monday night my family lost a great man, I will miss you and always love you uncle Harry.
Love,
How you can show support

I was saddened today to learn of Bill's death. Bill and I served together in the Alabama National Guard for several years. He was a great soldier and an even better person. He was a joy to be around.
