I want to thank God for Mrs Harrison and the wonderful Godly influence she had on my life. I know she was and will be surprised at the people who are in Heaven because of many sacrifices here on earth, her loving witness for The Lord, and the many ways she served The Lord in the church. Your loving friend, Laura yoder
