Beacky and family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your mom and Grandma. She was such a sweet, kind, wonderful person and she will be missed by all who knew her.
I will never forget her weekly visits to Becky's house to get her hair done. She was always so excited to be there and always so proud of her georgous hair do when she was finished.
Adam, Amy, Jordan and Matt - Bless all your hearts - your grandmother loved you all so very much and I know your hearts are aching right now. I wish I could be there to hug you all.
I am praying that your faith will give you strength in these testing times.
With deepest sympathy,
Rachelle

Dear Harris Family, Our hearts ad prayers go out to you at this difficult time. We have always felt nothing but love and acceptance from your family. Growing up we were always treated like family. Beryl was a wonderful, talented lady with and extreme amount of patience, esp. for one very bad piano student. It was always fun to hang out at their house with Jay and many of the kids from the neighborhood...we were always welcome. Beryl will be missed but the wonderful, fun, special memories that we have of her will help to heal our hearts. Again, our hearts are with you at this difficult time. May the Lord bless your family with the comfort you need to get through these times. All of our love, Dave and Marylu Langford

Becky and family,
My heart goes out to you during this tender time. Your mom was a courageous lady and now she'll be a guardian angel watching over you and your family. These next few days will be full of amazing moments. Bask in the love of family and let it carry you forward. You will see your mom's hand in future events if you haven't already. What a blessing for your mom to be surrounded by those who love her so dearly as she passes. There is nothing like that experience in the world. You will never forget this time. I bet your mom are mine are up in heaven comparing hairdos right now! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Give your dad a big squeeze and stay close to him as he continues on this path. It sounds like he has a great support system, and that will be a great help to you all.

My favorite memory I would like to share was when we were on one of our many camping trips to "RockPort" we were all sitting around the camp table and I asked Beryl to pass the "Pickel Barrel" and I realized her name was Beryl. We all laughed about our Sweet Pickel Beryl all evening. Oh What Fun we used to have camping and boating. I have continued the tradition of camping and boating with my own children. I think about my first experience camping with the Harris's as a highlite in my life. Thank you all so much for making me feel a part of your family for all these years. I will miss Beryl so much, but I am so glad she is relieved from her pain. Bless you all at this time of saddness but know there is Joy in knowing she is well again. Love, Tina Hillyard Koehler and Family.

To the family of Beryl Heath Harris.
As an old friend, I met Beryl in 1944, during World War 2. Visited at her home many times in Birmingham England. Beryl, and Brenda were very close friends. Beryl was a very nice young lady.
My condolences to her family.

Family
I know how difficult it is to go through the sadness of losing someone. Beryl was a wonderful lady, mother, wife, and was always my "hero." Despite her illness she was always cheerful and ready to join in any festivities. She is in a peaceful place now and free of her pain and suffering. It was a pleasure for me to have known her.
Love - Mary D.
