The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want...Psalm 23

To Our Beloved Mother, and family,Johnson joins me is spirit

from Nigeria in saying...

Dea will be greatly missed, and we

will always remember him. He was our

root. He made us, taught us what he

knew, cared for us, loved us, reproved us, rebuked us, and always

made sure we had what was necessary.

The days, and nights of his sickness

were not burdens for us, but challenges that got us prepared for

today. He taught us well. He was thee Most honest man I have ever known in my life.He was true, and He

was real. The nights I sat at his

bed side allowed me to learn more about him. Allowed me to appreciate

him more. The longest night of my life was sunday,September 19th.2004.

It was a time I had to pray, sing,

and give thanks for my Daddy's ,Our

Daddy's life, well lived. The Lord promises us 70 years. Dea lived pass

70 years. Amen. He was on loan to us

in this life. Just as we were on loan to him. He was not totally ours,we are not totally his. But I

am so thankful, and honored that GOD

gave Dea to us , and we to him. To

my mother, Lady Lanzie Harris, you

gave him all his roses, long

stems, while he was alive. Thank you

mother dear, being the lady he chose

so many years ago to be his beloved

wife. We love you mother, and we are

here for you. The Lord bless you, theLord keep you , the Lord make his

face to shine upon you, and give you

and the extended Harris families

peace. It is well. And all God's

people said ... Amen

Mrs. Harris: Our deepest sympathy to you and the family. May you find peace in loving memories.

To my family: It is said "There is no greater love than a man that would lay down his life for a friend". I also believe there is no greater love than the love & lessons given to a child that is not your own & given as if they were your own. For the love given to myself, my sister, my cousins, the in-laws & soon to be in-laws is a great one that will always be cherished. Opa is with us always as protection, strength & wisdom from above. While Nana is here to give us the support & comfort we so greatly need as we continue to grow. Thank You Eternally.

Angie, I am praying for you and your family.

Dear Mrs. Harris,

Be assured of my prayerful support during this time of your bereavement. I am deeply grateful to the Lord for my long association with you and your family. I remember with gratitude your husband's generous service as deacon at St. Elizabeth's and Our Lady of the Gardens. May he rest in peace.

Except for one moment, we only knew your father from our correspondence, your art and the way you live your life. We conclude, therefore, the he must have been a wonderful person.



Our love and condolences to you and your family.



Bill & Mickey Karlins

Dear Regina and Family,

We knew your father through you, and our lives are richer because of his parenting. Blessings to all in your family in these transition times.

Dear Mrs. Harris,

I had no opportunity to meet your husband or you. But my correspondence with your daughter Regina, and her tender evocations of family life in her stories can only have come from a rich childhood. For that, you and your husand not only deserve a great deal of credit but incur the gratitude of faithful readers everywhere.



May God bless you and keep vivid your memories of the best times your family shared.

As history has long taught us, the winter of your sorrow will soon turn to the joy of spring. Let not the blizzard of your tears blind you to this for recognize that death is transitory; it is a passage to a new world to which we must all one day set sail but love love is eternal, sustaining us in this world and the next. So be stong, be proud, and live, live, live!
