I was just thinking of her the other day. I wondered where she went she left harps. Very rarely do you have. A stand out employee remembered by many, but she was one of them. She was great person! So friendly and kind to everybody. Always had a smile on her face and there to help. I knew of her from Harps, I could always call and say “Rayanna, hold this movie for me†and she would. Lol You will missed sweet lady. Fly high.
