TO THE HARRIS FAMILY:



I WISH I COULD SAY "I DO NOT KNOW YOUR PAIN AND UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL", BUT REMEMBER THERE IS NO SORROW THAT JESUS CAN'T HEAL. I WISH I COULD SAY THAT "TODAY THE PAIN WILL DISAPPEAR" REMEMBER THAT GOD WILL TAKE AWAY ALL YOUR FEAR. I WISH I COULD SAY "YOU WILL NEVER MISS HIM" WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT IN TIME THE PAIN WILL SUBSIDE AND THE SWEET MEMORIES WILL TAKE OVER AND HEAL THE PAIN IN YOUR HEART."



MAY GOD BRING SWIFT PEACE AND CONTENT TO YOUR HEARTS AND SOULS
