Harrison -- In Loving Memory Of Richard E. Harrison November 13, 1962-June 18, 1999The deep mystery continues ... You have been gone two years today and we struggle to continue our daily lives. You were a person who loved us, who took care of us, and the person who made us laugh. Now we are left to continue shedding tears. Our lives have been changed forever. We continue to spend our days trying to figure out why we were never allowed to speak with you, to tell you how much we loved you, to hug you, and to be able to say good-bye. We are told that one day, we will be able to understand what has happened and why. We have been told to continue our daily lives and be strong. We are still trying to learn how to celebrate and live life again. We do believe that the only real death would be forgetting you, so we continue to keep you in our memory and in our hearts. Richard, our children and myself, continue to think of you daily and will keep you in our hearts forever.
