James, Jina & Family: I extend my condolences to you in the passing of Mr. Harmon. Praying for you and may God's peace and comfort be with you at this time and in the days to come. Barry Newell / Brookhaven MS
It grieved my spirit to learn of the passing of my friend, Mr. James M. Harmon. I met Mr. Harmon while serving as a driver with Reliance Transportation. We spent many hours in the lobby of the Kidney Dialysis Unit in Kosciusko during which time, we engaged in many interesting conversations. Mr. Harmon was a nice, "ole timey" gentleman. I will truly miss him, and may God richly bless his wife and family. – Mac O'Neal, Lexington, MS
