To the Harris's family,
I am sending my deepest sympathy to each of you. I will be praying with you, as well as for you, as you say, " See you again, MOM". Ms. Lillian has left a great legacy and a monumental statue of one who is a believer of Christ and his teachings for us to remember. She gave each of us the greatest of all gifts, "Love" . She sung songs of Praise, and walked the life of one who Lived by GOD's words. I am thankful that she was an integral part of my life and the life of St. Peter. May you allow the Lord to give you the strength to endure. Continue to sing Songs of Praise and Rejoice in knowing that you will be together again because of your belief in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

In memory of Deaconess Lillian Harris

May the legacy of grandma live on. She was a fine role model for her family and strived to show and give love to her family. She loved her church and instilled the love for God and his purpose in her family and all that she came in contact with. She loved music and singing. Her talents were passed down to her children and her grandchildren.
Thank You Mrs. Harris
