    I just want to send my prayers for your family. Mr. Nguyen used to deliver meals to APAC where I used to work. I also visited the restaurant. I have met you there, Be Thi, and we shared thoughts as we talked. I remember your sons being at the restaurant. I now work at the Southern Illinoisan Newspaper in Carbondale taking care of the obituaries. You may not remember me, but I think of all of you often. I live in Marion now.

    Harrison was the first person we met when we moved to this neighborhood. Harrison, BiThi and
    sons have become good friends. We have been blessed by the kindness and love that has been shown to us.
    Harrison is in the Lord’s hands now and at peace.

    Michael we never met your father, but we know what a great young man you are and that I am sure your father has something to do with that. We are all very sad here in Florida for your loss. I know Jordan would like to be there. Our thoughts will be with you and your family.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Harrison was such a joy when he would come into Hucks and get his lottery tickets. He always had a big smile on his face and was such a sweet man. He will be truly missed for sure. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

    I am so sorry for your loss. May “the God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God’s Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.
