My deepest condolences to the Harrison family. Jeff my prayers are with you and your family. Dorothy Tyler King & Family

Our prayers and deepest sympathies are in our minds and hearts as we reflect on the unique life that left us too soon. Ruby was always close to us, when we would spend weekends at her parents before they moved to Lake Charles. The hardest (and dearest for me) was when she and "Boul" baby-sat us one afternoon, and we were so terribly that we even broke my baby crib, but she didn't single me out (I was running and jumping in it as a terrible 4-5 year old). She was my favorite then, she has since always shared her grace and love. Johnny Fournier (and siblings).

Andre and family please accept my condolences on the death of your mother. Take comfort in the fact that she is now with our Lord.
