What a mighty man of God James Harry was. I will forever cherish the words of wisdom and love he gave! We will forever miss you Deacon James Harry. It wasn't anything for me to get in my car and drive over to NOLA to see him in the middle of the day. He and his beautiful wife and Daughter Shenita. They were a beacon to me, and I am forever grateful to them for their love and compassion.
