My condolences to all the family and friends of Josie Harris. I am the daughter of Elsie Roach and remember the friendship between my Mom and Josie at General Electric. I just let Mom know that her friend, Josie, was there with her now. I know there was glee in heaven at the time Josie cleared those Pearly Gates. May you find peace and comfort that is given to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Friend.
