Another Angel gone home,I had the pleasure to meet Mrs. Harris years ago through a family member. One of the sweetest and kindest person you could ever meet, always had a kind word, with a beautiful smile. My prayers and sympathy goes out to her family. God bless you all.

Such a great person in and out. Met her in 1995 when she spearheaded her home health agency. Leadership with a spirit of excellence. Never missed a beat! A life with purpose and a great legacy left behind for many. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Praying for the family. Darrell, Tracy and the rest of the family her legacy will continue to inspire you to great heights! Be Strong! Rest In Heaven Ms. Harris!
