THANK YOU TO ALL WHO VISIT MY UNCLE HARRY ON HIS BIRTHDAYS, ANGEL DAYS AND ALL THE OTHER DAYS AS WELL.

Harry was the older of two children born to John Sharples and Nancy Duckworth Sharples. His sister Jane was my maternal grandmother.

Harry was a "Motorman" for the Los Angeles Railroad.

On May 27, 1920, the pin in the steering wheel of the car in which he was driving fell out; the car overturned resulting in Harry's death. He was 26 years old, and had never married.

He was survived by his mother Nancy, sister Jane and her family. He has many descendants today. Hopefully by creating this memorial, my young uncle will never be forgotten.

The other night as I lay sleeping, I saw them far away,
The heavenly steps, that would take me up your way.
I slowly stepped towards them, to climb up to you,
As I got to the bottom step, I looked up, I didn't believe it to be true.
These stairs would take me to heaven, to see your face again.
I gently put my foot on the first step, and started calling your name.
The steps seemed never ending, but I really wanted to see you,
So I continued climbing, giving it all my strength too.
I saw the clouds, slowly starting to open wide,
And there were heavens gates, on the other side.
I stopped in amazement, was this really happening to me?
The gates started to open, not much I could see.
Then a hand came towards me, and was placed upon my head.
I saw no face, but these were the words that were said:
" You may not see me, but I will always be near,
I am happy here, there is no pain nor fear.
I will never forget you, I will always be at your side.
Today you can not see me, for Earth is where you ride.
I will forever be there, to comfort you when you're low and sad,
But I will also be there, when you are happy and glad.
I know you don't forget me, in whatever you may do,
And one day in the future, this dream you had will come true,
But please do remember, I will always love you! "
When I awoke, I had a smile, every where I went,
For although I didn't see your face, I know you're happy, from the message that you sent.
