Special thanks to the care-taking team at Shorehaven, particularly the Memory Care staff, the Assisted living staff, the nurses and support team. Also, many thanks to the Cornerstone Presbyterian Church congregation and pastors. In particular, we want to thank the senior men’s bible study, the volunteers who walked with David and those who drove him to and from church activities when the family was not available. All of the Harris, Shoemaker, Fiesinger and Holland families want to thank John Harris for the innumerable ways that he attended to, cared for and loved our father, grandfather and brother over the last several years. We are grateful for your steadfast and faithful care that deeply honored your father and bore in love a significant weight with and for the sake of your father and your family.
