Nancy and family.

We were very saddened to learn of your Mom's death. Mrs. Harrison was a sweet, cherished gift from God as one of our many beloved neighbors of 119th Street. How nice it was to discover when we moved on this street that she was part of the package! There was not one time in our talks with her that her lovely smile did not warm our hearts immediately. We will miss her here on earth, but look forward to eternity with her worshipping our Lord. We pray God holds your family tighter during these times.

Love,
