To my beloved friends The Harris/Hamilton Family:
I am so, so, sorry about losing Ms. Harris. Your Mom is, was, and always will be a part of my childhood memories. She was like a 2nd mother to me. I remember living across the street from you, spending countless hours at your house. My fondest memory is eating the candy cane- shaped cookies your mom baked every Christmas.
Harry, Mary, Joanne, Eddie, Barbara and Vicky, help, love, and take care of each other.
My Love and Prayers are with all of you.
