IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR MOM
HARRIETT V. MCCRAY 04/12/1968 – 02/14/2021
You may be gone, but your spirit is still with us. You left us unexpectedly and too soon. You’re still with us as we grieve over you.
As days, weeks and months went by, somehow we find ways to push through. It breaks us a lot because we al- ways had you.
One whole year without you, you left too soon.
Love, DeMario, Chiquita, Kiawania, Dorian, Jr., Zamar- ionna, Denarius, Demani, Demetrius and Demarcus.
