From the moment my mom and Phillip met Grandma Harless treated me like I was one of her own and I always respected and loved her for that. She was a very kind and loving person that we will never forget. My daughter Zoe didnt want to leave when we went to visit grandma. She wants everyone to know that she will never forget her and I know that grandma thought the world of her as well. Roxie morris
