God shared his child with us for a few short years, and has now sent His angels to bring her home to rest again in his bosom. Her faithfulness and loyalty to God, her family, and all that she came in contact with, had made her our example of a strong-independent black woman. We love you and thank you for the time we shared together. And until we see you again at the Great Homecoming, you will remain deep in our hearts and souls forever. She leaves to cherish her memories, her parents, Shirley Harris-Lanham,Augusta, and Burrell Lanham, Jr., California; one daughter, Tiara Henley, two sons, Solomon and Rashun Lanham; one brother, James K. Harris (Wife Sandra), North Augusta, S.C.; grandfather, Burrell Lanham III, Augusta; ten aunts, Martha Joshua, Little Rock, Ar., Mary Harris, Johannesburg, South Africa, Idell Harris, Augusta, Eloise Mathis, Augusta, Fannie Harris-Livings, Atlanta, Sidonia Renee Harris, Atlanta, Martha L. Moore, Lawrenceville, Julia E. Utley, California, Patricia Blocker, Augusta, Janie L. Reid, Augusta; five uncles, John C. Harris, Augusta, Crosby Lanham, California, Clyde Lanham, Kentucky, James L. Lanham, Augusta, and Michael G. Lanham, Augusta, and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, and many, many, friends. Sign the guestbook at AugustaChronicle.com

Peanut,

I am extending my heartfelt sympathy. When I heard of the loss of your sister I was in a state of shock. I can't tell you I know how you feel because I haven't been down that road but always remember GOD will not give you more than you can handle. Prayer will soothe your pain. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
