Harmon McGhee

The time has come when I must walk through that valley of the shadows of death. I have found comfort in knowing that I am not alone, God almighty has walked with me from my birth, throughout my life, and now into the passage of death. A loving and understanding God will never leave us or forsake us. To all my loved ones that I am leaving behind, don’t worry about me, because my heavenly Father sent His angels to reclaim his gift to this world. Please be forever grateful and thankful for the happiness we’ve shared. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. As you celebrate the end of my life’s journey, I pray that each of you will find comfort in knowing that a loving and compassionate

God knows what’s best for each of us. I’m free so praise the Lord that I’m free. I am no longer bound by the troubles of this world.
