He was so loved by out family, I was just thinking the other day of out night fishing trips and the great times we had... you always begged, Let's to stay longer Uncle Lee! I always gave in and waited til you actually fell asleep. I look at the BB hole in the window of my front porch every morning now I've retired, I've patched it with clear tape, but will never replace it. Love you Harrison, I will see you again some day soon.

Martha, Mary Gordon,Jeff & Nora, Lori and Jean..and all the family members. We are so sorry about Harrison death. Beth said Uncle Kenneth will be busy showing off his grandson to his buddies. We will be praying for you all and hope the memories will help you work through the pain. God Bless you all... A resident where Lenice's lives knew she was a Greenway and saw it in the paper and asked her about it and we searched and found the sad news. So please forgive us for not coming but we just didn't know. We love you all, Stebie, Jimmy, Beth & Edwin Thompson, Charlotte

It was a pleasure to have known "Harry" as he wanted us to call him. Everytime he came over he was like a ray of sunshine with laughter and happiness. Once he told us he was moving from Columbia to Greenville we told him that we would keep in touch. The day before the incident he was on the X-Box 360 but I didnt get a chance to talk to him because we were playing different games but I wish so much that I did. My condolences goes out to his family. Harry you will always have a place in my heart and will never be forgotten.

I pray that somehow God will give us all peace and comfort in dealing with this tragic loss.I know one thing for sure that makes me feel just a little better is his Poppa G was the first to embrace him when he entered Heaven's gates.

I was in the process of moving on to Welcome View Dr.that Sunday afternoon, when I came upon the accident. My heart sank when I saw your son and the young woman with him. I am glad to know your son knew the Lord and broken hearted for the loss of your precious son. I pray God gives you the peace and understanding during this time of sorrow. To be absent from the body is to be in his precious arms. You can take comfort in knowing that is where your son is right now. May God bless and hold your family in his arms.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
