    To the Harrell Family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for each of you during your time of grief.

    Somehow, i think he and Jimmy have already found a mullet net and they are on their way to scope out a fishing hole.

    Mr. Harrell was such a nice guy, a southern gentleman all the way. I know he will be missed by all.
