Add A Condolence

A great lost,a soft spoken kind hearted man I knew since I was a small kid . God bless you Mr. Harrison. Leslie p.Richardson

I will like to send my condolences to the Harrison family. Please keep the memories of him alive, this will help to ease your pain of sorrow. When Jesus was on the earth, He healed the sick and raised the dead, He ( Jesus ) will be performing these miracles again in the near future. ( John 5:28 & 29; Acts 24: 15; & Isaiah 33:24) We will be able to see him again. Love, Mamie Andrews Boyd

Please accept our condolences to the family of Rev Lawrence Harrison. I was sorry to hear of his passing as he holds a special place in the hearts of the Hanks family and the Woodsworth Baptist Church family. Rev Harrison was pastor at Woodsworth when my mother was church mother, and my dad was Chair of Deacons. I recall many Sundays when Rev Harrison was a guest at our dinner table after church. He always had a warm (and somewhat mischievous) smile, but was kind and polite and expressed a deep love for our family. We have missed him over the years after he retired and we/I did not see him as much, and we will miss him in the future. To God be the Glory for a life well-lived. May Rev Harrison forever Rest in Paradise. Joyce Hanks Davis (and the Hanks family)

Uncle Lawrence from day one riding on bus 124 and Dorthy Brown as our driver you took care of emergency. You were more of a brother than a uncle. I followed you and grandaddy plowing those fields behind those mules and I would see you suffer with that asthma but you would continue to work. You motivated me to become a master mason, prince end the consistory and a noble in the mystic shrine. Ultimately becoming a worshipful master of a masonic lodge. You always looked after me and I'll always pay that forward to your sons Andrew and Tony. I'll never forget you and i know that they all met you at those pearly gates. I'll always miss you but like the blind boys sang, save a seat for me! Rest in peace
