Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer, Mrs. Harrison was one of my favorite teacher's at Knoxville, I enjoyed her cooking class and learn alot. Today I consider myself a great cook. I have very fond memories of Mrs. Harrison. And I can memory her always talking about her boys. May God be with you and your family at this time.
