Very sorry to hear about Harriet. We were first cousins and I spent many weeks in the summer with Aunt Stella and Uncle Frank. I was about 9- 10 yrs old; and I have wonderful memories of those summers. I loved Harriet's laugh! She was always wonderful to me. My sincere condolences to her children and grandchildren.
