Reiford & Louise, it is always difficult to lose a love one. This time of the year probably makes it more difficult to deal with. Consider it a new birth in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ and other love ones he has known on earth. May God be with you. Bennie L. Barker

I know God has walked hand in hand with Rhudy. He will take your hands now and walk down this rough road with you. What a joyous reunion for Rhudy and Thelma to spend Jesus' birthday in heaven.

I'm so sorry to learn of Mr.Harmon's passing. Would some one be so kind to let me know who his parents and grandparents were???? We all go back to the first Harmon's to come to this country. I am a direct descendant. I would love to try to connect Mr. Rhudy to his ancestors. I have all these early ancestors and will be glad to share if anyone is interested. Thank you in advance. May God bless each of you in your hour of sorrow. my email [email protected]
