TO MERRY, CALA, NIESHA, TIFF, R.J., AND MIKEY: I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE MET YOUR DAD/HUSBAND. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THAT WE GOT TO HANG OUT WITH HIM AND ALL YOUR FAMILY AT NIESHA'S HOUSE FOR A BBQ. HE WAS SUCH A FUN MAN AND VERY INVITING OF ME INTO YOUR FAMILY, JUST AS YOU ALL HAVE BEEN. I COULD TELL HOW MUCH HE ENJOYED BEING AROUND ALL OF YOU AND THAT HE LOVED YOU ALL SO DEEPLY. EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT HERE IN PERSON, HE IS WITH ALL OF YOU IN SPIRIT. I TRUELY BELIEVE THAT LIFE IS CONTINUED AFTER DEATH, AND ALL OF YOU WILL BE REUNITED ONE DAY. LIFE ON EARTH MAY SEEM SO LONG A WAIT, BUT IT IS SHORT IN COMPARISON WITH WHAT WE ALL HAVE WAITING FOR US AFTER LIFE ON EARTH. DUSTIN, THE KIDS, AND I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH, AND HOPE TIME WILL ONE DAY GIVE YOU PEACE. I KNOW THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE SAID TO MAKE HIS DEATH BETTER FOR YOU ALL, BUT IF ANY OF YOU JUST NEED TO TALK AND FOR SOMEONE TO LISTEN, OUR FAMILY WILL BE HERE FOR YOU. LOVE, KIM, DUSTIN, AND KIDS

Rufus Walton, one of the coolest dads around. Lol! I can remember when Tiffany and I were in high school and we got sent "home" one day for fighting (You and Merry's home was mine as well), as soon as I walked in the front door I heard, "TYSON!" So funny. To Merry, Mikey, Carla, Niesha, Tiffany, and R.J. I'm sending LOVE and ((HUGS)). You guys are a close family so I have no doubt you'll uplift one another in this trying time.

I am missing you more and more Dad. If I could only hear your voice or see that smile just one more time. I know you are in a better place but it is still hard not to want you here. I thought we had so much more time together and that is what is making this so much harder. I love you and am so happy to know how many people loved you and miss you just as much as I do. Until we meet again I will hold on to the memories and keep listening to the music.

To the Walton family, Rufus and the Harris family grew up together in the Hillside projects, we had many good times together. Even after we became young adults we still stayed friends, everyone hung out at the Hank's Fun House back in the day. Rufus will be truly missed. To the children he was a good man. Just remember God has no sorrow that he cannot heal, hold on to the memories that you have and they will sustain you. Love the Hank Harris Family
