I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the Harris Family. I did not know Mrs. Harris, but I know the loss of losing a dear loving father in death. I find comfort in the Bible where it assures us that "Our Heavenly Father will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
