LYDIA M. HARRIS

Sweet Mom,

I will miss you forever, until the end of time, and until we meet again.

Aunty sometime when I am seeking advice and talking to God for innerstanding and clarity. BMO HARRIS pops up. I then smile and know the way to go I love you.

Year 6 - it pain of loss never gets easier, just a bit more tolerable. Love you Mom.

I can´t believe I/we never got to have our conversation. I was on my way to the repass and ended up in the hospital.. I guess you were never told. I didn´t stand you up but idk how to get ahold of you. I was in the hospital for a couple of days and you were gone when I got out. You didn´t know my number and I tried to call the number I had no answer. AUNTY there is so much I want to say.. That´s how I ended up here looking to see where you were to pay my respects.. I have gone to visit Grandma a couple of times and I´ve apologized that I wasn´t there for her either when she transitioned.. Aunty Lydia thank you for believing in me. Everyone knew you were about something if you spoke to them and dealt with them.. Someone said man Aunty don´t play and rarely talk to anybody how do you get her to hold a conversation with you and not just say hello or hi. She talks to you every time she in town.. I had no idea anyone was paying that close attention. I had no answer because you have always spoke and you have talk to me since a child. I couldn´t relate so I just shrugged and tried to laugh it off. I cried upon hearing of your passing and was very hurt.. I guess that´s why I´m breaking down the way I am now.. YOU WERE SO AMAZING... Since you passed it´s like your with me. When I get out of character guess what I see and start my lil self to alignment. I see the BMO HARRIS ad or sign or commercial.. and it reminds me to walk like a Lady, have class and respect for myself and represent the woman I come from.. My ABC Always Be Classy.. I need y´all so much especially you because I know you would inner and understand on a different level. I´m doing all that I can to bring honor to this family. It´s not easy. Well, I´m going to end this by saying I love you Aunty Lydia to the fullest I wish you knew how much you really meant/mean to me and how much of an impact you really had and still have on my life.. All of you. I Am glad majority of you have reunited. May you all fly high and I pray you keep watch over me.. I need you more than you know..

Mom...missing you so much in our 4th year of separation. Pray for me as I pray for you - gone but never forgotten. God gave us memory - that we might have roses in winter.

Mom - missing you so much in Year 3. Pray for my that someday I can join you and the rest of the family in Heaven.

Love and Miss you Mom. It's been a year, but it feels like yesterday.

Lydia Harris was also a beloved principal at st. Adalbert Parish on East 83rd and Central. I was one of her students and I'm sad to see that she is goneon .She definitely left an impression. She will forever be in my memory and greatly missed

Ms. Harris was my kindergarten teacher who help guide me through the 1st year of my formal education. She was a strict and very disciplined woman at the time 1977. Man she will be missed.

Mrs.Harris was a joy to work with and was a fantastic kindergarten teacher. She taught both my children and they have many fond memories of her.

God will surely bless Mrs. Harris for her dedication and hard work on behalf of the many students she taught and inspired throughout the years as a Teacher and Principal.

My condolences to her family and to her St. Adalbert family. Mrs. Harris played major role in everybody's life she touch. She was my teacher, my principle, my role model, and my friend. She will be truly missed. Rest in peace.

Love you and miss you Always Mom.

Ms. Harris was a wonderful woman and made a difference in SO many lives! I will never forget her or the positive role model that she was for me. I still live by her infamous "an idle mind is the devil's workshop". She will be missed. Rest in Peace!

I truly value the education I received at St. Adalbert, under the leadership of Mrs. Harris. She was a stern, solid and dedicated principal who nurtured student development. She held our parents accountable and there'll never be another like her. My prayers and sincere condolences go out to Mrs. Harris' family during their time of bereavement.

I will never forget the many years I spent working as a teacher at St. Adalbert School-Mrs. Harris hired me for my first full time teaching job!!!! May she rest in peace always...

My condolences to you Leslie on the loss your Mom.

Condolences to the family and friends of Lydia during this time of sorrow and grief may you find comfort in the God of comfort.
Sincerely,
Sonya
