Harriett loved her children and always made sure they felt that love. She was devoted to family. She will be greatly missed. A beautiful woman.

So many memories...Harriet was truly a dear lady. To be a school secretary is to be a "mom away from home" for so many children. She shared her wisdom and love in countless precious ways, to both young and old. I know she is in Good Hands now, but will miss seeing her in the green truck with 'Lane'. Sending love and prayers.

I was just thinking about your mom the other day and how she always called in the wee hours of the morning looking for "Lindy girl." On many occasions she'd laugh when I'd ask where I was headed and reply with "oh you know, it's a surprise- just make sure to put on your spurs." I will miss your Mom <3
