Very sad from the passing of Harriet. I met Harriet through her special friend Marti who lived across the street from her .Sometimes she and Ricky would ask if I could fix little things around the house and yard for them,so I would always try to help them out. She is truely going to be missed, especially her neighbors and friends who knew her. My condolences to her family and friends that I’ve met and to the ones I didn’t.
God bless you all.
