Mrs. Harrington was a special lady. I enjoyed seeing her as the first person at the front desk of Windy Hill Elementary School when my kids attended that school. Always very helpful with a smile on her face. Many parents crossed her path at WHES and she knew my name and personally greeted me when I walked in to pick up my kids. Thank you for being so kind. RIP Mrs. Harrington and thank you for all you did for my children. My prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
