Our hearts were overwhelmed to hear that we would not see your precious smile or hear your encouraging words on this side of Heaven again. However, we know how much you loved the Lord, and we can find comfort in knowing that He loved you even more: for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest peacefully our dear Minister Harris. We love you and will miss you greatly. Your Will of the Father Christian Center Family.🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽

To finish this life and to begin another. God is so good to lift Mary's broken heart. She loved her family and friends. She was always in God's word. She came with me to New Birth adult Sunday School and her son Jasper would go to the younger generation classes and service. We went on many outings and she was always kind and focus on giving her son a better life. Rest In Peace my friend. Marie Gagliardi

Mary, Mary, Mary...we are simply the Brooks Family, and only knew you for two weeks. God sent you, Jasper, and your sweet dog Rose to us to impact our life in ways that will change us forever! You were receptive to learn of God's Sabbath and allowed His word to penetrate your heart even deeper. Jasper and Rose changed the lives of my Son Jyles and Jai'elle in ways unimaginable. Jasper and Jyles prayed together. All of us are only passing through on this journey, and I feel confidant that God will be well pleased with your work here. It was our pleasure to have known your sweet spirit, my Sister...

Thessalonians 4:13-14 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. With sincere sympathy we are praying for your family during this time. The Clem Family

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Harris at Eastside High School and we shared a small office space. Ms. Harris was such a kind, sweet and soft spoken lady. I always enjoyed talking with Ms. Harris. She was so easy to talk to. She never complained about anything just easy going and willing to help wherever and whenever necessary. My sincere condolences to the family and friends. Gladys King

Dearest family, God is so good. I met Mary two years ago when she need a ride home from work. I didn't even know that she was Tamara's sister until we had visited Dr, dukes on one of outings. She loved her family and she loved God. Be at peace Mary and God Bless.

Mary had such a sweet, sincere, gentle spirit. It was a pleasure to know her as a co-worker and teammate. She loved playing softball with our church team. When I was out of town with my mom and she called or texted, she would always say, "Enjoy this time together. You can never replace special moments. They are to treasure." Mary was a joy to be around, a special person with a positive attitude, and truly a treasure within herself. She was loved and will be greatly missed. - Angie Lewis

Mary Harris, you will be dearly missed. I remembered when you came to work and we would always greet each other with Good morning and when we saw each other in the hallway we would ask how things were going to each other. You always knew how to make a person feel loved with your kind words of encouragement. I am glad we had a chance to cross paths with each other. My prayers are with your son and the family. Maria Pass-Hardeman

I spoke with Mrs. Harris at work daily. She was such a kind, thoughtful, loving person always looking for ways to improve others lives. She was so proud of her sons and their accomplishments.

My sister, my prayer partner, my friend! So many wonderful memories we have shared from the beginning of last school year to this school year from the last day we laughed with one another, which was Feb. 5th. It was always see you tomorrow or next week, but never did I think I would be seeing you later... I leave you with a purple candle because it was your favorite color and because it symbolizes wisdom and devotion. You were a friend I could depend on that offered words of wisdom through scripture. I love you and miss you, but I'll see you again. Love, Mrs. Williams (Sis as you would say)

Mary and I became instant friends from the first time she subbed at EHS. She was the sweetest, kindest, humblest person with such a amazing spirit. She has a servant's heart who believed in helping and giving to others. I'm so blessed to have known her, she was truly an inspiration to me and my children. I love and miss you Mary. Never goodbye but see you later.... Tracy Wilson-Pyant
