IN LOVING MEMORY
JOE P. HARRIS, SR. August 12, 1943 — April 13, 2003
Loving, caring, kind, wise, and open hearted are a few words to define our dearly departed.
As we continue to grow, life teaches us that people will be taken away, but I can’t help won- der why Joe P. Harris was taken away that day.
I won’t question the Lord, His intentions nor will I doubt Him. We are grateful He has taught us to live without him.
Some people don’t under- stand the consequences for the decisions they have made. See that night, the night the driver drank that liquor, but oh what a price we paid.
When you drink and drive, you lose. Make sure you think thoroughly about the decisions you choose! We love and miss him so much!
Your wife, children, and grandchildren; loving grand- daughter, Angela Givens and family.
IN MEMORIAM
MATTHEW S. SCOTT 12/7/1970 — 4/17/2015
Three years ago, Matthew was sent to our Heavenly Father, and he has been missed.
Remembering all the times we shared. We miss you very much.
Love, your mother, Linda Mc- Cray, brothers and sisters.
IN MEMORIAM
MARGIE C. NELSON 6/23/1922 — 4/13/2011
Mom, it has been seven years now. You will always be missed and always in our hearts.
Your daughter, Pat, and grands; kids, Tina, Landa, and David; and great grands.
