It's strange how the years go by and time slips away from us. I always thought I'd get the chance to see you again. I wish we'd all have lived closer. I've admired your strength. You were one dedicated and determined lady. I'm glad mom was able to be with grandma Tucker and I hope the family finds strength within each other. May you rest in peace. I'm sorry we didn't see you again.
All my love,
Rachel

Bobbie, that wonderful woman who welcomed me to PEO. She was so warm and friendly wherever I met her. I'm so lucky to have known her. My best wishes to her family.

I was fortunate to be a student teacher of Mrs. Harris in the spring of 1971. I have always had great respect for her, and thus it is hard to call her anything but Mrs. Harris. I was so lucky to be placed in her classroom as I had a wonderful experience student teaching under her guidance. She was always very professional, caring, and enthusiastic about teaching. I learned so many things from her. One of the many things that left a lasting impression on me was the way she never blamed a child for not understanding a concept. Rather, she felt it fell on her shoulders to approach the concept with the student in a different manner. Her patience appeared to be endless, too. After I graduated and had my first job teaching in Pocatello, I knew that I could call her for advice if I needed help....and I did many times. She was a big influence on me as well as countless other students in her classroom and I.S.U. She will be greatly missed, but her influence will continue to live on in the lives of us that were fortunate enough to know her. My thoughts and prayers go out to your families at this most difficult time in the loss of one amazing lady.

I began helping Bobbi with her hearing many years ago. With each office visit we became closer friends. Eventually she invited me to join PEO and become her sorority sister. She was a kind and classy lady who will be missed!

When I was about seven years old I moved into a house about four houses away from the Harris Family. We attended church together and I became friends with her son Tim. Over time Bobbi became like a second mom to me. I'm grateful for her kindness and love towards me and hopefully Tim and I didn't cause her too many headaches...

I miss you Bobbi and I send my best wishes and prayers to the Harris Family and this difficult time.
