CNN reporting JRH has called into to service on speaker phone, sobbing but thanking all for support. Wife stood up and gave speech and defended him. Congregation stood in show of support. She also talked about having more children when this is over. WOW.
Total, complete, pure speculation, but what if she's pregnant? Maybe that's the context for "will be".
There's still a chance that the daycare DID in fact call one of Cooper's parents to inquire about his absence. We are assuming they didn't.

"Am I angry with Ross?" Leanna Harris said at the funeral in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. "Absolutely not. It has never crossed my mind. Ross is and was and will be if we have more children a wonderful father. Ross is a wonderful daddy and leader for our children."
Who talks about having other children "when this is over" at their own child's funeral? That just seems WAY over the top inappropriate to me - reminds me of the statement when someone loses one of their children and some insensitive person says, "Well at least you've got other children...." As if children can be interchangeable.
Sorry - just really struck me as tacky.
Reported she said" people may wonder why she is not distraught and emotional and it is because she is a woman of God". I am sure I am not quoting exact words. Why does that sound familiar? Or strange ?
From Randy Travis' facebook:
Latest Cobb search warrant: Justin Ross Harris admitted to police he did Internet research on how high temperatures needed to get to kill child in hot car. Said he "was fearful this could happen." Law enforcement sources told us Wednesday his work computer was used to search for how hot a car has to get to "kill an animal." Son Cooper being buried today in Alabama.
I also searched and found JH's and his wife's Facebook pages right after this happened and nothing stood out as odd to me. Well, I did think there was a more than normal amount of "selfies" for a man. The mom's page was nondescript. Like PaisleyB said, they have since been taken down.
BBMNot to say there is an etiquette for such a thing, but it seems to be lacking in sensitivity to speculate about future babies before this one is even buried.
Nope separate FB accounts.

ETA: In response to your question about a name in the facebook url, I checked my history and believe it was rossharris so the url would have been: https://www.facebook.com/rossharris
Could she possibly be pregnant? I can't think of any other reason to bring up future children at such a time like this when your focus could only be on this irreplaceable child.
It seems totally inappropriate to me for him to do a call in and especially one to thank people instead of to just say something to honor his child.
People are usually thanked on the program as it is often too difficult for the grief stricken parents to even speak.The funerals of children that I have attended usually have close family and friends address the congregation on behalf of the parents for this very reason.
