You left me way to soon, for reasons I will never understand. They say when it rains someone made it to heaven, no accidents you went out with a hurricane ( typical Harry). Until I see you again I will be jealous of the angels and I look forward to seeing the polished floors in heaven. In the meantime derrick has signed up for the six am face time chats on my way to work... I love you daddy...Ally

Words cannot express how sorry I am for the tragic loss of my first cousin Harry to his family and friends.
