I'll never forget this wonderful sweet spirit, affectionately called "Aunt Vera". She was committed in encouraging all of us who crossed her path, "How's school going?", and "What are you doing these days?"Thank you Aunt Vera for your love.Timothy M. White

Mrs. Harris was like a second mother to us when we moved to Montgomery with my parents/ Vernon and Altona Johns. She opened her home and her heart to everyone. I kept in touch with her until the end. We adored her and will keep the family in thought and prayer.
