Pam and family,
I was sad to hear of Don's death. He was so nice to work with when I was playing at FBC and he was song leader. He also helped us so much with electrical work on our big house there. I thought a lot of him and will miss knowing he's not there.

One thing I've always known both as a little girl and now as a grown woman is that my Uncle Don Harris was and always will be the best Uncle that a girl could ever have. My heart feels so heavy knowing that my Uncle Harris has passed on and will always hold a very special place in it for him. As for you Aunt Pamela and cousins Melissa and Matthew you are loved by me just as much as my Uncle and if there's anything I can do to help you through these hard times please make sure and let me know and I am here for you anytime! Rest In Peace Uncle Harris I love you. 💘?
