Ms. Harper was a wonderful person inside and out. She was my kindergarten, first, and third grade teacher. I loved her dearly. Years later she was my youngest son´s, and youngest nephews, kindergarten teacher. She was even more wonderful with them. I can´t say enough wonderful things about this lady! So sorry she is gone.

Lisa was a wonderful friend to my brother and our family called her a guardian angel. I never met Lisa in person but we talked on the phone and she had the sweetest and kindest voice. She was a saint on earth and she will be tremendously missed. I am very sorry.

It was such a pleasure to be your roommate in college!! Fun and crazy times! I will always feel like our "talks" have been unfairly cut short... Until we meet again, I will carry you in my heart and memories: ALWAYS!! Much love to you! Love you like a sister, Girl!
And to the Harper sisters, I am so sorry you have lost your sweet sister. She was quite a treasure!!
