To the Family of Ms. Veronica Harris,



My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of bereavement. Be reminded that weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning. May the God of Peace continue to comfort you.



I had the priviledge of meeting Veronica at the EBR North OFS. She was in the unit that I supervised. It was a blessing to have met her. I have in my possession a book of prayers she gave me about a month prior to her passing. I will always cherish it as it will be a constant reminder that I had the honor of crossing the path of one Woman of God by the name of Veronica Lynette Harris. God bless you Mother O'neal, Sister and brothers.



Grace, Mercy and Peace to you all

To The Family,



Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28



Veronica will be truly missed. Blessed assurance Veronica is now in a place where joy and peace abounds. Although, she is not here with us, we rest on the fact that she is with the Lord. Scripture teaches us "to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." Trust in the Lord; He will grant you peace and solace at this time of your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

To the family of Veronica Harris,

I was very sadden when I heard the pasting of Veronica. I knew Veronica for several years as a co-worker at Family Support. God was ready for her to coming home away from this old world. He wants her to come to a world of peace, sunshine, and eternal happiness. I know you loved her, but God loved her most. She's in his loving arms now.
