Remembering Tootsie  also called Miss Edna at this time. 
Fond memories of my Retirement Road days as her daughter Leila, fondly known as  "Dimples" and I bonded and became good friends.
Tootsie was a loving mother and hardworking individual. 
She will be sadly missed by those who knew her well.
May she rest in peace. 
Deepest sympathy to the family. 

Edna  Harris  affectionately called  Tootsie  was  a  very  kind  and  loving  person  . She  was  very  industrious  and  hard  working . She  took  pride  in  whatever  she  did .  She  will  be  greatly  missed .
May  her  soul  rest  in  peace .

Tootsie has been a part of our lives for so many years  I don't remember when she wasn't around .  She was mother to our good friend Leila  and she became our dear friend too.  She teasingly referred to my husband Calvin as her husband and always instructed me to take good care of him.  Although we are so sad to lose her we will cherish our precious tmemories  of her. Rest in Paradise dear Tootsie , until we meet again.

Edna "Tootsie" Harris has been a part of my life for over sixty years. This has survived her re-locations within St Ann , St Andrews (Jamaica), Connecticut & Florida (USA). 
In all these years, it has been my pleasure to witness her parental relationships with  her daughter, Leila, her son-in-law, Dennis, her grand-daughters, Karen and Wendy, their spouses and her great-grand-children.
Tootsie, in person or on the telephone, was always cheerful and pleasant. She was forever devoted to her garden.
Dimples & Winston I know you and your entire family will miss her greatly as will my family and me.
                      May Tootsie's soul rest in eternal peace.

To Dimples, Dennis and family: may you find peace in treasured memories.

Edna (Totsie) was a mainstay in our family growing up in Brown's Town ,Jamaica. She was always one of the funniest persons I remembered.There was always laughter when she was around.
She was kind and generous and loved her family so much especially her only daughter Leila. 
My condolences to to the family. Sleep good Totsie you earned it.🙏🏽🌹❤️🙏🏽

I remember from the very first time I was introduced to  Edna  “ Tootsie” I found her to be such a warm and pleasant person.  As time went by she was even  more loving  always  had a smile as she greeted me with a compliment or a joke.   She was one of a kind person.

A mother is with us  always, first in her lifetime, then forever in our memory.

Losing the one you love is so hard,, and so I’m praying for you,  for peace, courage, comfort and whatever you need.

Wherever a Beautiful Soul has Been, There is a Trail of Beautiful Memories

Wishing you smiles amid the tears as you remember happy times with your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, sister and friend.

A great soul serves everyone all the time
A great soul never dies.   It brings us together again and again.

Miss Harris was a honorary Grandmother to my family for most of my life. She was a BIG personality who always led with laughter, teasing, and wise counsel.

She always spoke out loud how proud she was of us in each of our small and large life victories.  She had a big heart and knew no other way but to live life to the fullest! Thank you for pouring into so many of us outside your immediate family.  Take your full rest Mother Harris.
