    My name us Carol. I am 65 years old. I met Mrs. Harms when I was 6 years old. I had just moved into the house next door to her. I knocked on her door at age 6 and asked if she had any little girls I could play with. She introduced me to her 6 year old daughter Valerie. That day turned into a lifetime of memories. Mrs. Harms was always welcoming, kind, loving and always there to talk. She made delicious chocolate cakes with white icing for birthdays, (my favorite)she would always give me a corner piece. I just want to tell Val and all her siblings that I am so sorry for their loss. Always in my prayers🙏🏼 God bless all of you. Love, Carol
