Hi Grandad! First thing I wanna say is that I love you so much and I'm sorry we hadn't talked much. I'll always honor and remember you dearly and even though its all in the past i'll remember going out and seeing you and remembering one of your many apartments, you're not gonna be able to grow up and see me become the best person I can be but that's okay.

Please rest easy and I'll forever miss you. I love you dearly and when I have a chance I'll come and see you but now, rest easy.

To my Goddad Frank. What a beautiful soul, free spirit man and humble cool dad. Your presence will truly be missed. We will always remember and cherish the moments with you that gave laughter and joy. I've never seen him mad at me and my sister Tasha when we were in trouble, he always smiled at us and told us to stay out of trouble. Frank will always be with us as an angel who gained his wings. Love always Christine ❀️

Mr. Harris what an amazing man and human being. I remember the times we use to sit back and talk about the family. Always had a smile on your face and that became something that I learned from you. I hate to see that I wasn't able to see you before you went to be with the GOD but I will always cherish the memories and advice that you gave me throughout the years. Keep smiling down on your children and grandchildren. I know your presence is truly going to be missed and to the family I am praying for each and every one of you!!

Hey Pop There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about you. Even though you're no longer here with us, your love, kindness, and the memories you gave us continue to live on in our hearts.

Today, I don't want to focus on the sadness of losing you. Instead, I want to celebrate the incredible person you were. Thank you for welcoming me into your family, for the laughs we shared, the lessons you taught without even realizing it, and the love you gave so freely. You made a lasting impact on me and I thank you for the privilege of knowing you.

Your smile could brighten a room, and your presence made people feel at home. I hope you know how deeply you were loved and how much you are still missed. We carry your stories, your values, and your spirit with us every single day.

I promise to keep your memory alive by loving your family the way you always did with patience, strength, and an open heart. We will continue to speak your name, share your stories, and smile when we remember all the good times.

We love you. We miss you. And we'll carry you in our hearts forever.

Love Rasheem

Hey my Daddy ...! wish you knew how heartbroken and saddened I am by your departure. I miss you sooo much it hurts. I will always remember the good ole days when I would come to visit you at your apartments. From you teaching me how to cook and watching your favorite Westerns with you, from you taking me around to your favorite places with you all over town ..from you teaching me about cars because you said I'll never know when I may need help with something. You said I could always fix the problem myself if I had to. Other times from eating at your favorite restaurants and from when you would stop by mama's house to see us and sitting outside eating watermelons and plums with you. I miss you soo much daddy and will forever love you soooo much .

To the Harris Family and Friends,

I am praying to our HEAVENLY FATHER to wrap each and everyone of you in his arms. I ask that HE comforts and consoles each and every one of you during this difficult time. May you all find solace in knowing Mr. Franklin is no longer suffering. He is healed. He is great hands. May he Rest In Peace.πŸ•ŠοΈ

I knew him through his beautiful daughter, Jerrica. She is kind, caring, helpful, compassionate, strong, loving don't put up with nonsense lol, etc. Those are qualities she got from you, Mr. Franklin. Jerrica, I know you are hurting. I know your Dad loved you and your visits. He was very grateful for your help and taking care of him. Your father has moved on to a new home not made by man's hands. Now is the time for everyone to look to our Heavenly Father. He loves you too. πŸ’– I'm praying for you. Love you. πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’–. I am here if you want to talk. GOD BLESS and keep you all.

Sweet sleep Mr. Franklin.πŸ•ŠοΈ

Hey Grandad it's your boy Tyree. Imma miss you very much. All I can do is sit here and think about all the memories that were shared. The days I'll go spend the night at grannys and i'll see your red truck coming down the road and you showing me how to drive a stick shift. I remember me, mama and my sisters and brother would visit you at your apartment and you'll be showing me you're fishing rods and the day we had went fishing and I gave ducks bread will forever be cherished. There's so many memories that just can't all be shared but are forever with me. I miss you man, i know you're having the blast of your life in heaven and looking down on everyone. Thanks for being my grandad imma miss you.

Hey Dad,

It's Tasha. I love you to infinity and beyond. ❀️ I miss you every single day.

We made so many beautiful memories together that it's impossible to choose just one favorite. I just want you to know how incredibly special you were to me. You were one of the most talented people I've ever known. It seemed like there wasn't anything you couldn't do.

Your confidence lit up every room you walked into. The way you smiled, carried yourself, and dressed you always knew how to make yourself feel good, and it showed. You had a presence that people noticed and remembered.

I loved watching you do the things you enjoyed most. You loved to fish, and you could fix just about any car that needed work. The way you spoke was so intelligent and thoughtful. You had wisdom, and people listened when you talked.

Thank you for the love, the lessons, the laughter, and the memories. I carry pieces of you with me every day. I hope you're smiling down on me, because I'll always be your little girl.

I love you, Da Da. I miss you more than words can ever say.

Forever your daughter,

Tasha in your words "My Tasha "

Mr. Harris, you always called me your friend. When I think of all the times we sat and talked about cars, sports, and life, I can say we truly were friends. You were not only a friend, but a loving father figure to me. Rest in peace sir.

Jeremiah Burton

Thank you for always being so welcoming and kind! Whenever I was around you you always made me feel like I was at home. I know you will be watching down over everyone from the home up above. πŸ•ŠπŸŒΉβœ¨οΈ

My dear father as I have always told you, you were the strongest man I have ever known. You always have had the biggest heart and the world just could not handle it. You stayed strong to the very end and even showing me that you were never afraid of a challenge. Although, I am saddened by your passing. I know that you are pain free. What I will do now is hold on to our great memories forever and continue to share them with all those who have witnessed and felt your love. So yes daddy, me love you too, Always. And now rest easy, knowing that you are "a good daddy" and in your words the "Mighty Franklin "Kat" Harris. I love you dad.
