Barbara Lorraine McKiel Harris

Can't believe it's coming up on a year since dear Babs joined her beloved Len. Miss you and always will - no one quite like you, and you brought joy to everyone who's lives you touched. Your angel wings shine bright, sweet Babs!

My mother was Barbara's auntie Esther so we were first cousins. When I was born Barbara was already grown and mom asked her to be my Godmother. I have a wonderful photograph of her holding me at my christening, she was absolutely beautiful; inside and out.

Rest in peace Barbara, thank you for being such a wonderful Godmother.

Babs was one in a million. Her sweet goodness touched so many lives. And she never knew just how absolutely hysterical she was. She made my sister, Erin; friend, Debbie, and me laugh all the time and she was so unaware of how truly amusing she was that we laughed all the more. We will miss her loving spirit - what a woman, what a mother and what a wife. And also, what a friend. God bless you, Babs. And joyous reunion with Lynn!

Babs was one of a kind! My hope and prayer is that she and Doris are spending time together with their families and friends. Blessings and prayers for all of her family. I know you will miss her dearly.

Barbara was first cousin to my husband George Schwary. She and Lynn were a part of our life for many years. Barbara and I have kept our relationship going with many visits to Laurel Parc and sharing brunch in the dining room. Barbara was such a special person to me and all her knew her. Her happy disposition brought so much joy to me and I so admired her strong faith and love of life. Not having her in my life gives me great sadness.

To the Harris Girls: we have such great memories of your mom from our teenage years. It is so true that the Harris House was the place to gather in those years. That's largely because your mom was so kind, welcoming and fun.

And not only the place to gather, but also the place to enjoy wonderful Sunday spaghetti dinners cooked by your mom. As if her 5 daughters wasn't a big enough group for Sun. dinner, your mom would often also welcome the 4 older Maguigan boys to those...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
