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 .

Regina was my ex-sister-n-law, who was a very sweet person she loved her family. She liked to laugh and simply enjoyed life. She will be greatly missed. To know her was to love her. Rest in the Arms of the Father. 🌹

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.
