We are so blessed to have known Mrs. Harrison for so many years. My two boys, Mark and Andrew knew her as Nana and loved her so very much. Her warmth and smiles always made you feel special and welcome. She and Grandad will remain in our hearts. All our love to all the very special Harrisons. A very kind, dear family.

Bill joins me in sending you our thoughts and prayers. We feel privileged that we had the honor of knowing "Nana". (I never knew her by any other name, but Nana.) I know her passing leaves you with an empty place in your heart and I pray that memories and the passage of time will help you heal.

Nana was such a delight for me to have gotten to know, and I am happy for the many times I was able to spend with her and grandad, the first time I had the pleasure of meeting them, they insisted I call them Nana & grandad, and they truly felt like grandparents to me.
I will miss her sweet smile, and how sweet she always was to me,
My heart goes out to Jim, Jan, Jimmy, Alex and all the other members of her family. Don Duke also sends his thoughts and love, and states "I am glad I had the pleasure to know her". With Love Donna Leonard.
