Mr. Harris, Edwina and Damon,

May God comfort you in your time of loss. I truly loved and admired Mrs. Harris in all of her wisdom. She was the best wife, mother, grandmother. She was a wonderful friend and counselor. I lost my mother years ago, she always referenced herself to me as my Godly Mother.
I will miss her dearly.

To the Harris family, I offer my sincere condolences in the Homegoing of Mrs Julia. She was one of the sweetest ladies I met at St. Paul's. She was always full of joy and willing to share her testimony. God truly blessed her life and now she is receiving tons of eternal rewards (smile).

Love Deacon Ferebee Hayes

Edwina, There are no words to express how truly sorry I am to have read about the passing of your dear sweet mother. I cherish the many converstions we had in the comfort of her kitchen. How many days did we not go to your house during lunch (working at East End Mental Health) that she did not have a delicious lunch ready and waiting. She always made me feel welcome regardless of the time or occasion. It was obvious how much she loved her family and how much she was loved by others. My prayers are with you and your family.

To Daddy Ed and Edwina,
I would like to offer my condolence to you. Momma Harris was our shepard for a short time. There were hundreds of children in Richmond who stayed with her until placement, and we all survive the wilderness. I will never for get her.
Love Mariah

You will always be in our hearts. sincerly, enyde and family
