My thoughts and prayers our with you during this time. Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Praying for you my dearest and God given friend
You and your family have my deepest sympathy
I am so grateful that God allowed me to become an honorary daughter of Deac. and Mama Harris’s family. I will always remember the pure love that flowed between their hearts. There was no doubt that Deac loved himself some Minnie, but most of all he loved God. I wish I had told him how much he really meant to me, and I always appreciate how he loved my children. They both welcomed us into their home and hearts. Now, God has called Deac to his heavenly home. Rest well, sir… rest well.
