Kemper and I are thinking of the family and admiring the support they all gave to Mr. Harris -- similar to the care that Mr. Harris provided for his wife in their later years. We love you!

Uncle Donnie, we'll miss you - last of the 10 Harris siblings born and raised on Pickett Street. I'll miss the awesome Italian cream cakes you baked for mom. Rest in peace.

Uncle Donnie was always one of my favorite uncles. He was the one who looked most like dad (George). I had trouble telling them apart when I was younger. My heart goes out to Don, Wade, Danny, Matt, Chad, and all the grands in this difficult time. My prayers are with you.
