Mary Belle and I were good friends and neighbors for many years on Cliff Avenue. We always looked out for one another and had each other's back at all times. A great lady has gone to be with our Lord but we know she is in a better place. I know that God has her in hs hands and he knows what's best for us all. Her recent suffering has been replaced by joy and laughter. There is no greater glory.

To the family of Mary Harris, you have my deepest sympathy. She will be sorely missed. She touched the life of everyone who knew her. God makes no mistakes, he called her home for a reason. Her last year was very hard and tedious to say the least. I know how active she was in her church because she believed in God's power and glory. He will see you through everything.
