Ms. Harris was always so kind to me. I worked at PAW at MUH while I was in graduate school. I had a pass/fail test before graduation, she told me to call her with my results. When I told her I passed, she said the whole office stopped and prayed for me when I was taking my test. She was kind person & I am grateful to have known her. Rest In Peace, Ms. Harris. πŸ™πŸ»β€οΈπŸ™πŸ»β€οΈ

Ms. Harris is what I called her but I hear her on the other end, this is "Gladys". Whenever I called her with a question, she had an answer. She was always kind and generous to me. She was my ride and die STEELER. While I am saddened by her passing, I am rejoicing that she has entered into peaceful rest.To her family, I pray that God will comfort you and give you peace. She will be forever in my heart. Angela Collins

My relationship with Gladys L. Harris began almost 60 years ago when we walked from Seventh Street to Manassas High School. Many times her mom,Mrs. Tommie Alice, would drive to take us school. Gladys was always amicable,loqacious, and humorous. She was a very good student academically and utilized her talents in the nursing profession. I admired and love Gladys. God's Strength, comfort,and peace to the entire Harris family,friends, and loved ones.

To my sister in law Gladys. You were a thoughtful and generous person to all that knew her. Sorry she didn't get to do the things she wanted to when she retired, but her illness took control. No more pain and she's at peace now. We love you Gladys and will miss you forever. Your sister in law Sheldia and family πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎβ€οΈ

Ms. Gladys don't forget the L Harris from Nawf Memphis. Although only working with you a short period of time, I truly admired your love of people and genuine concern for whatever one was going through. From your love of the PAW children to the love of Staff (Family), we could always count on some trinket of joy for every holiday. I Refuse to say goodbye but will bid a Sincere See you later. Until we meet again rest well your work has been completed. You will be missed from our PAW family. Shaundra Taylor

I appreciated everything that she did for us as a team and individually. Her presence will be greatly missed. She was my football buddy Pittsburgh Steeler vs Dallas Cowboys. Love always. Christy Graham-coworker and friend.

To one of the greatest. Greatest boss, greatest nurse, greatest mentor and friend. You will be missed Ms. "Nawth" Memphis. Know that you touched us all in a positive way with your caring and generous spirit and I bid you a peaceful rest. Your family will continue to be in my prayers. Blocker.

A genuine friendship. Her loyalty, respect, and support of the aesthetic services I provided will always be treasured. She will be deeply missed.

I would like to honor Ms. Gladys for her kindness and support. She was always so generous with her donations to my school counseling incentive program in promoting readiness for learning and positive behavior. May the Lord continue to bless her family with strength and peace. Love, Pam Hamilton

Words cannot express how much Gladys meant to our team in the PAW (Pre-admission testing center) department at Methodist University Hospital. Through out her leadership role she accomplished a great deal. Her presence has been greatly missed since she went out due to her illness. She was a great leader, mentor and friend. She will be greatly missed. We appreciated everything that she did for us as a team and individually. May the Lord rest her soul and I find peace in knowing that she is no longer in pain. God bless her family and strengthen and keep you all. Love always. Sharon Patrick - coworker and friend.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
