Gina and Mike,
God Bless you at this most difficult time. As you already know Harrison touched so many lives. There will always be a special place in my heart for him- right next to Michael.

You do not know me, nor I you, but I feel your pain. 12 years ago I lost a beloved daughter to a brain tumor. She was older than your son, 41, but she left a young 15 year old son for me to raise. I know the heartache of seeing them suffer and fade away. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

I am a substitute teacher at Davidson Day School, and because of that I had the great honor of meeting and teaching a class that Harrison was in. He was an amazing and extrodinary little boy that was dearly loved and will be deeply missed. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this very difficult time.

Sincerely,
Dena Probst

I am a substitute teacher at Davidson Day School, and because of that had the great honor of meeting and was able to teach a class that Harrison was in while visiting the school when he was well enough. Harrison was an amazing and extrodinary boy with a smile that could light up the dark. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very difficult time. He was loved and will be deeply missed.

Sincerely,
Dena Probst
