God’s Garden God looked around his garden

And found an empty place.

He then looked down upon the earth,

And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you

And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful,

He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,

He knew that you were in pain.

He knew that you would never

Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough

And the hills were hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids

And whispered “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you did not go alone…

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home

About Him Franklin was born to Shirley and Franklin Harris Sr. on

December 16th, 1975. Franklin attended school in Nicholls

and Douglas, GA, and attended Waycross Technical College.

Franklin put in hard labor throughout his life and spent most

of his time working at Clayton Holmes in Waycross, GA.

Franklin was loved and cherished by many. Franklin was the

type of person who never met a stranger. If he thought of you

as a friend, you had a friend for life because he was big on

loyalty. His family called him a (protector) because he was

always one phone call away.

Franklin was the type of person who did not fear anything, and

if he did, you would not know it. His passion and reasoning for

life was his family, children, and racing cars. Franklin’s drive

was to please everyone he knew and to provide unconditional

love to every person he had an encounter with.

Franklin is survived by his: Parents Franklin and Shirley

Harris; Two brothers: Recardo Harris and Antonio Harris;

Two sisters: Latonya Harris(Cedric Robinson), Wynter Harris

(Robert Moore); His five children: Quan Grady who’s

graduating from Kennesaw State University, Dasha Burch of
