    Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. When I think of Momma Harris I think of the love she alway showed me. The way she embraced me like her own made her a Woman worth the honor! My prayers are with you family . Nothing can or ever will fill the void of her absence but if you hold on to the memories it will help carry you through. Rest well Ma I will see on the other side .

    Mom we have shared 43 wonderful, hard, weird, loving, overwhelming years. You are the best mom a girl could ever ask for. I never wanted this day to happen. I wanted to have you forever, but I know you were tired. I’m sorry mom for the pain you endured. I’m sorry that I couldn’t fix it. I pray that you know that i love you so much and will never let you go. You will remain in my heart for all time. I love you mom.

Michael,

First, let me start out by saying you were a God sent working with me for many years in preparations for my mom’s Homegoing Celebration December 7, 2024.  Even though this was our first time meeting in person, I felt like I already knew you.  Michael, you demonstrated  professionalism, empathy and, your warmth was surprising for me considering your role as a Funeral Director. Your attention to every detail, patient and support has made this process much easier for my family and me. I trusted you and you helped me find closure in a moment of great sadness, and for that we’re eternally grateful. I appreciate the time and energy you put into ensuring everything ran smoothly considering I reside in a different state.  Michael, my mom would have loved you and our family is forever grateful for your unwavering dedication and support during our season of grief.  May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. (Numbers 6:25)

Valerie Tucker and the Family of Barbara Bell
