Over the years that I came to know Vera, I found that she was a person who always maintained a positive and excited outlook on life - living it to the fullest possible, despite the many difficulties she had. I appreciate the heritage, traditions, and family lore, that she passed to the next generations. She will be dearly missed. Laura (MB, CA)

God Bless Vera Harris indeed. I look back on my life and am very lucky and blessed to enjoy many fond memories of her such as attending momentous events, enjoying foods, orchids, and holiday traditions. She did all of those things and much more so well. Much love to her always.

God Bless Mrs. Harris -- I often look back to my childhood and feel blessed to have had you as a neighbor. Thank you for your kindness and genuine concern. There was always a wave and a smile from Mrs. Harris as the Chevy Citation pulled up :-)
