Not sure what to say?

Mr. Harrison, I do believe you would be and are Godly proud of the way Jerry has blazed through the years with Harrison’s Orange Mound Funeral Home.

How sad it is to just browse websites and run across an old acquaintance who has made his transition. My early memories stem from New Era Baptist Church where my mother was pianist and he was a member during early teen years. I am also a "family member" of Melrose High (1969)May God comfort the family with fond memories and strength to carry on.
