Harriet was indeed a jewel of a friend! I had the privelege of knowing her through the Seven Valley Chorus. We loved visiting at McGraw house to sing for everyone, especially Harriet. I am certain that Harriet is hosting parties in Heaven. God Bless Her.

I met Harriet at Maine Center and immediately found her and her stories to be so interesting. We were able to share a graduation party together which I loved. I enjoyed her calm and sense of humour. I am fortunate to have known her. My thoughts are with all of you.

I will always remember Harriet's bright spirit and beautiful smile. She never complained despite all the difficulties she faced in her later years. So glad I got to see her over Thanksgiving.

I'm sorry to hear that Harriet has passed away. I'll always remember how she loved to hear the Chorus and our quartet sing. We loved having her in our group too and among our supporters.

Patricia and family know that you are in my thoughts. Having lost my own mother just last month, I know how difficult her passing can be. Hold her memories for they will help you get through the toughest of times.

I'm so sorry to hear about Harriet's death. I worked with her at Maine Center for many years and she was a delightful colleague. Harriet was irrepressible and joyful and made a huge contribution to the agency. My sincere condolences to her family.
