In Memory of Tori Harris

It is with broken hearts that we share that Tori Harris died peacefully at her home in Austin, Texas on April 26th, surrounded by her loving family. Although her cancer diagnosis was hard for us all to believe, she kept fighting on with untenable strength, humor and grace. She never gave up the hope and belief that she would beat the disease and persevered through very difficult treatments.

Tori’s legacy lives on in her three beautiful children - Tristan (6th grader at West Ridge Middle School), and twins Max and Sienna (4th graders at Forest Trail Elementary). She is also mourned by her mother and father, DeeDee and Victor Gomez and her brother Robert Gomez.

We realize that Tori was a very private person and this news may come as a shock to many - Tori never wanted to burden anyone with her personal troubles or worries. Yet, she was always willing to serve the Eanes school communities wherever she was needed with dedication and enthusiasm.

Thank you to the Westlake community for your steadfast love, support and prayers. It is in times like this that we are reminded of the incredible community we are a part of and our deep connection to one another. For every call, text, meal, carpool, gift — we are forever grateful.

As a community, we commit to continue to surround her most beloved - Tristan, Sienna and Max - with comfort, unwavering support and unconditional love.

Please consider donating in memory of Tori to help her parents and brother support her children in the way that they know Tori wanted. Thank you for your support during this difficult time. We praise God for Tori’s life and the indelible mark she left on ours.

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33
