I remember when grandma used to do my hair I was/ am so tender headed I used to try and hide from her. She used to tell my mom I’m not doing this child’s hair anymore.
I use to see her all over the SE side walking or waiting to catch the bus. Whenever I’d see her she would always greet me with a smile and ask how I was doing. She was always extremely nice to me
She was always sweet & nice. Her demeanor was sweet as a Georgia peach for real. R.I.H. GRANNY HARRISON
What I’m about my grandma used to lay on the couch and watch your favorite shows lay on her chest
I’m hurting, I miss my mom, she has always been my super woman, working & taking care of us all at home. I looked for a loving caring , strong woman like my mom, and I found one, she can’t replace my mom, but she isn’t supposed to. I miss my mom, but I know she is in a better place now.
My condolences, prayers, and heartfelt respect to the family of Ms. Harrison. She used to come into Hy-Vee all the tine and smile at me. My father was a resident where she was and I saw her there too with the same warm smile.
Cousin Charlene, I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear mother. May you find comfort in knowing she’s in the arms of Jesus; May you find strength in the love of family; May you find peace in the many memories you shared over the years; and may she Rest In Heavenly peace.
