Dear Harris Family, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of David. I just found out today he passed. We worked together at the shipyard and he was a friend. I kept up with David after he left the shipyard but lost touch in the last couple of years. David was a kind and gentle man and I'm grateful to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Harris Family,
I will miss David,as surely you will. I had the pleasure of being around David again about a month ago,and before that I had not seen or heard from him in years. I feel blessed that we were fortunate enough to see each other before this sad occasion. I have fond memories of us growing and maturing together,through high school and beyond. David was a cherished member of the GW Carver Class of 1968. David has now graduated to the Highest Level. Our God will take good care of him,and He will take good care of you. With sympathy.

To the Harris Family,
Take comfort in knowing that God makes no mistakes. I will always remember the stories and memories that we shared. As you remember and share the stories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant to each of you, may you find comfort. As you go thru this difficult time may you also know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for each of you. Remember that God will take care of you and give us rainbows after the storms. Brian and Page he is in no more pain and no more suffering. He is making people smile and laugh in Heaven. With Sincerely sympathy,
