I adored GinnyHarman and used to have great conversations with her at Floyd Baptist Church many years ago when I was a teenager. She left a lasting effect that I remember her gentle voice and kindness. My mother Nina browning who died several years ago loved Ms. Harman as well. I also was lucky to have her husband as a Chemistry teacher (I think his first year) at the FCHS during the years he taught and always really liked both of these great people. May God give your beautiful family peace during this hard time of loss.
