One of the sweetest moms in Michiana. Harriet raised three great people, she had a wonderful sense of humor, a welcoming smile and an open door to all of us. What a grand lady! I am so blessed I was able to share some time, some laughs and some wonderful memories with her the past few months. I will miss her. My love to her family.
She was special.
