Harriet, was a sad to hear of your passing. I know mom was waiting for you when you arrived. The stories that was told when I was just a child brings smiles and giggles to my face. Shared so many memories of life in Wagner Mt, One was always brought up was What's up with Harriet? She always had sometime to show that she made or canned with her mom. So many stories to share about Harriet. I'm gonna miss you .

Prayers and blessings to your family from mine. Harriet was a great friend and student of art and always so supportive of the kids when she saw what they had done at the Art Spot. We enjoyed her visits to the gallery and the time I was able to spend with her over pencils and pictures was a blessing. She will be missed very much.
