What a message Glenroy. You said it all and I am sure that most feel like you do. I hope that the bitterness does stop one day. I am so happy that everyone came out to say farewell to such a special person such as Harry. I am just so sad that I could not have been there myself to say goodbye to my friend.
Live for today and not for tomorrow.
God bless you all.

: For the past months there has been much nagative things said, and written about Harbour Island, some comentary got so personal, that there were concerns that we may have to bring some minds together, in order to stop the madness. The sad thing about it all, it was happening in the Nassau Tribune. I must say it was most embarrassing to see what we were doing to ourselves, and giving to the world. I kept looking for something to happen and to rid the sadness. Then my sadness was further compounded by Harry's sudden illness. I asked the question could our community take any more? but then came Saturday. Harry's homegoing Celebration, IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER.First the many, many people, Family members,friends, and supporters that knew Harry, and who's lives he touched. The wounderful service, The great singing, The wounderful exspressions of Love and admiration given and shown by his friends at the service.The songs of renditions given by the Hog Heads, the Funk Gang,and Courage these are groups that Harry enjoyed singing and playing his guitar with, the school kids, friends of Harry's children, the choir from Light House Church Of God, and then the Gregory Town Brass Band combine With the Harbour Island Boys Brigade Band. Interment then topped off with a junkanoo Parade. Such a sad occation. But for the Life Of Harry It was so refreshing to see our community brought together once again. Realizing that this comes out of what we are so famously known for. That is welcomeing strangers to our Island and making them feel right at home. I am so Glad that Harry came our way and for shareing his love with all of us.
