We so loved Harriet's company and getting together up north around a campfire. It was always a pleasure to run into her at Boulder Days! Her passion for faith and family live on in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren! Thoughts and prayers to the entire family.

Aunt Harriet and Uncle Al along with Pete and Tom give me great memories as I think back. What a great place it was to be at the Long’s for a Sunday afternoon of football in the basement with the fireplace going after a great meal with my cousins, aunt, and uncle. Also remember delicious chocolate chip cookies, chex mix, Sayner, WI, vegetables from the garden, and getting tackled quite a bit in the back yard playing football. Thank you Aunt Harriet and family for all of those great memories. A life well lived.
