Mom,

There are no words to really say how much you are missed already, it is almost impossible to believe that you are really gone. We all LOVE YOU, but realize that you are in that sacred place of rest. It makes me very happy to know that you are there with my baby (Ja'Aina) watching and standing in the gap for us all until we come to be with you guys. With the help of the lord I will carry on the Young name with all the respect it deserves.

Rest In Peace Mom,
Your Son Harrison Young, Jr.

To the bereaved family

Life is a spiritual journey from
the first day of our birth,
Life is a spiritual journey on this
beautiful planet called earth.
Life is a spiritual journey -

Dorothy, Mitzi and I would like to send our condolences. Whether we live or die, it must be for God, rather for ourselves. Rather we live or die, it must be for the Lord. Alive or dead, we still belong to the Lord. This is because Christ died and rose to life, so that he would be the Lord of the dead and of the living........Roman's 14:7-10. Take care and hope to see you soon.
