I send my condolences to Harriet's family. I worked with her at the University of Hartford. She was an excellent teacher and a kind and caring colleague.

May she rest in true peace.

Faith, My deepest sympathies to you and your entire family. Funny all these decades later I still have the clearest memory of your beautiful mother and her great smile, I can even hear her voice as made sure we weren't getting into trouble ("Faaaaith?!"). May her memory be a blessing and a comfort to you all. Sending hugs.

Ken and family - Donna and I were saddened to learn of Harriet´s passing. Harriet was such a bright light and so welcoming to everyone she met.

We will miss her and her wonderful smile. May her memory be a blessing. You are in our thoughts. Donna and Mike
