Hello to family! This is Diane's friend Melissa. Which is Ruby Sister. We all knew her as rain. I remember coming to visit and how she always treated me like I was one of the family. Inviting me to her house and cooking wonderful meals and talking to me. I really appreciate her kindness and the kindness of the whole Harris family! I believe that her mother, Miss Harris and husband were reaching for her as she came home! Both with a smile saying good to see you! Love you all family and I am praying for you! May God bless you with peace and comfort during this time. God bless!
