We had the good fortune of getting to know Mrs. Harris during the past few months when she roomed with my mother at the Meadows. She was a delightful, caring person and we took great comfort knowing she was always looking after my mother’s well being.
We had many conversations with her about a variety of things, but particularly about her love of family. Please know that she felt blessed and confident in the love of all of you. Our most sincere condolences. I know she will be greatly missed.

Sure hated to hear of her passing. Mae Dean was our neighbor for many years up until a couple years ago. Wes and I just loved both her and Clyde. Couldn't have asked for better neighbors/friends. Super sweet lady and I will sure miss her greatly.
