Hal and Mary, I am heartbroken to learn of Harriet's passing. Harriet and I were friends from infancy, since our mothers were best friends. I have pictures of the two of us in a baby carriage at about ten weeks old ...and many more during the years.
She was my very best friend and I loved her as a sister all during childhood and beyond. I will miss her and I know she will be missed by you and your entire family . My sincere condolences and love to all. Annetta
