Little Rock, AR Wednesday, September 25, 2013 Judy Harris and Family,I am truly saddened to hear of your recent loss and would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family on the recent passing of your sister. Verma was my supervisor when I worked the switchboard at UAM from 1979-1983. She was witty and fun to be around. She loved her family very much and often shared memories with me of fund times spent with her parents, Kami, Jill, Tommy and other family members. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
