" But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
"
Thessalonians 4:13-14

God was pruning His
garden and He noticed that Gregory was tired and weary so He plucked another flower from Louis and Martha's Half Dozen and brought Greg home to join his brothers. Rest well for the Harris Brothers are together again and we will all someday join you on the other side.
