Demanding the Return of Sarah Browder's Page

Sarah Browder (Harris) was murdered by her husband Kirk Harris in September of 2012.  The Davie County Sheriff, the Marines, the NCIS and the insurance company all agree that the evidence points to this likelihood.  It is an unpleasant reality.  But it is the reality with which all of Sarah's family and friends must grapple.

Sarah had a facebook page which her father took charge of after her death.  He posted albums of photos of Sarah for those of us mourning her loss to view.  He posted quotes of Love and Inspiration.  And whenever he made a post, anyone who was friends with Sarah on facebook would be notified of these posts.  Sandy Browder kept his daughter's page a living, breathing testament of  Love for Sarah.  In this era of social networking, visiting a facebook page is the equivalent of visiting the grave of a deceased loved one. One could argue that it is better, because we can all share our memories and sadness collectively as we attempt to heal.  

Some person in cyberspace has hijacked Sarah's facebook page.  They have done so by having "memorialized" Sarah's page.  This means that Sandy, Sarah's father, can no longer log into this page and change it.  At present, Sarah's friends and family can still post messages and photos to her timeline.  But the fact remains that some person changed this page without the family's knowledge or permission. 

Who would do such a thing?  And why?

Kirk Harris killed Sarah Browder.  The person who hijacked her facebook page is attempting to kill her memory. 

Kirk Harris was the son of Dr. Dean Harris and Mrs. Vicky Harris of Bermuda Run.  His sisters are Leslie Brooks and Cary Floyd.  His brothers are Cpt. Jacob Harris and David Harris.  I gathered this information by reading Harris' obituary online where I also found this: "Kirk leaves behind his wife, Sarah Browder Harris of Greensboro."  He leaves her behind?  As if she's still alive?  Granted, this obituary was posted in the Winston-Salem Journal the day that Sarah died: September 27, 2012.  Still, it has never been corrected.  This could be an oversight.  If so, it is an inconsiderate one.  

Sarah is dead.  She is dead at the hands of Kirk Harris.  We, the friends and family of Sarah, love her.  And we want her facebook page back.

  1. Facebook does this when they find out the person who owns the page is now deceased. They did it with my friend Heather's page after she died. They closed her page down completely though. A group of her college friends got fb to reactivate it. I don't know the route they used to do so.
