I would like to send our deepest sympathy and condolences for Mr. Earl at this time. I was always told we were kin but not exactly sure how other than my great grandfather being Willie Harkley that married Bessie Stanley of Beaufort. May God bless the family and friends at this time.

To E

My father was the most loving parent that a child could have. As being the youngest my father loved me with all of his heart, he was always there for me no matter when or where. His children were his heart and soul. I will always remember being a little girl and my father would put on the bed between him and my mother, while I fall fast asleep. Always in his arms. My life will never be the same without my father. I was so blessed to have him be the Grandfather that he was to my boys. I do find comfort in knowing that my Father is now resting and without pain and worry along with my mother. They are now able to continue their journey and love together as it was meant to be. Love you always and forever. Like I would always call him MY Daddy..Your Baby Bootsy( Priscilla)

We cannot add one day to our life, as it is stated in PS 139:16, "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book." Take comfort in knowing Mr. Earl lived his life the way he loved. He loved his kids, his family, his chickens and His dog, Speedy, too! He was a sweet man to know and knew the Lord. I'm sure all he'd ask of any of his family was that they know the Lord and to be at peace with his passing. He's at peace with his first love now. May God's supernatural peace fall on those he loved. - Monty & Kathi Mitchell
