Julie, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a wonderful mom and set such a beautiful example for me as a young friend.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you all. May God bring peace and comfort, as only he can.

There are not words to describe the brokenheartedness that comes from the loss of this special lady so full of grace & grit. She meant so much to so many & was like a magnet drawing friends to her by the love & laughter she poured out. I will truly miss this special friend. Because of Jesus I plan to see her again. With much love & prayer, Kim

Dearest Chris and family, You all loved her well! We are so sorry for your huge loss, and we are sorry we cannot be there. May the beauty of your memories heal your broken hearts.. Lovingly, Candy and Chip Griffin

I had her as a teacher. Wonderful lady dearly missed

We extend our love and deepest sympathy to all of the family. We enjoyed spending time with her at family gatherings, and we will treasure those memories.

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.

Chris and family, sorry for your loss. Prayers for comfort, peace and adjustment to be made. Blessings as you grieve your earthly loss, but celebrate a life well lived and loved. Vic and Jane Zitta

My prayers and deepest sympathy to Chris , Becky and the rest of the family.

Ginny touched so many young lives as a teacher at Indian Valley Elementary School. I am grateful that I got the chance to teach with her and know her both as a colleague and a friend. Praying that each of you finds strength during this time of grief.
