The Passing of a Wonderful Woman - Karen W Harris

My apologies to those who have followed my blog and have missed seeing it these past couple of months. In August we found out that my mother had cancer, it was a brain tumor that had been misdiagnosed for sometime. Despite best medical attempts, and my mothers strength, our heavenly father called her home on the 18th of Oct. My mother leaves behind a husband of 42 years, my father Marvin Harris, she also leaves behind her 4 children, myself Andrew Harris, my older brother Philip Harris, my sister Rebecca Harris, and my younger brother Matthew Harris. Also her daughters in law Jennifer Harris (my wife) and Marissa Harris (Philips wife), and her 5 grandchildren, (my sons) Robert Harris, Joshua Harris, Charles Harris, as well as (Philips daughters) Julia Harris and Laura Harris.

It has been a tough couple of months, but with the help of our pastoral staff @ Royal Heights Baptist Church, we had an amazing celebration of life service for my mom, with well over 300 people in attendance. Her ashes were spread at hers and my fathers favorite spot to visit just off the pier of Crescent Beach, in White Rock, and a single rose provide by my Uncle and Aunt Trevor and Linda Harris was set adrift.

Though a tough experience, it has drawn our family even closer than before.

My heart goes out to all who have lost a loved one, throughout my life I have only been able to empathize, but now through my own loss, I can truly sympathize with your pain.

Thank you for all who have stood with us over the months. God bless you all.
