Debi Scoggin-Frye says
My deepest sympathy to Jayne, Harry Lee and the rest of the family. Harry was a great brother in-law and uncle to mine and Kevin’s four kids. We all loved him so much. He held a very special place in Kevin’s heart, and we’re so glad that you guys made the move to Lexington all those many years ago, so that Kevin and Harry could have that time together. Know that the boys and I will be here for you in any way possible in the weeks and months ahead.
Love,
Debi
(Sadly, I will be arriving in Raleigh from Tokyo at the very time the Memorial Service begins, but will be with you in thoughts and spirit and will see you the first moment I can)

Marvin Scoggin Jr. says
Hello, Jayne and Harry Lee. Life is a precious gift, and I’m so glad I could be there in March and July with you and family to share in the “gift” of my first little brother, Harry. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been with him those final days. Your good words in the obituary are a nice tribute to him and the way he chose to live his life. You, Harry Lee, and Ashley are in my prayers. Love, Marvin
