I was sadden to hear of your loss John Robert. May you, the Harris (of which I am a part of) and the Corbin families find comfort in knowing: to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May these few words help convey the thoughts of sympathy so deeply felt, yet so hard to express.

The Harris & Corbin Family

Women who fly, climb mountains, Women who fly have wings of their own, she got hers, with our heavenly Father. Known for her beauty, serving, giving, loving her family, and just sitting in her home making you feel very welcome. That was ROSE. This ROSE has opened up like the peddles on the flower, but now in God's house. She's okay now, with that smile and beauty. If ever feeling down, open up to God, he's always there, he'll never leave you, or forsake you. We all love and loved her, but you know God loves us all. May you find comfort with God in these days ahead. God's Blessings to you all.

To the Harris and Corbin family:
No one will ever know how much Rose meant to me and how much positive influence she has bought into my life. I will always remember Rose for the person she was and will continue to be. I will remember her for the laughter and the "girl talks" we had. One thing I have learned from Rose is not to let a downfall keep you down, hold your head up and keep on going forward and good things will come to you. No one will ever replace Rose in my heart she meant a lot to me and will always. i want the Harris and Corbin family to always remember that even though she is gone i will always continue to be there for you all if and when you need me. I will miss her
May god bless you and the family

To the Harris family:

I have nothing but fond memories for the time I spent with Rose and your family. I was always made to feel like part of your family in the warmest way. She really was one of the sweetest people I met while living in Newport News and she could drive that big truck like no other woman I knew at that time :-).

May the memories you have of Rose keep your spirits high during this very difficult time. God bless you all.
