Hello and goodbye.

Thanks you Hattie for the many dinners at your house in Rehoboth, thanks for showing David’s works and thanks for your pleasant and fine company. All this was decades ago, but I shall never forget you. Bon voyage.

My heartfelt condolences to Erik, Cole, Celia & other family members on their loss. May her spirit live on infinitum.

She was a thread running prominently through the weave of your lives and I'm glad that feeling for you will never end. You all spent so many meaningful times together with Harriet. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss of such a strong and accomplished woman.
