We had a lot of fun as children with our grandparents Mamie and Popeye Wagner. She once got a speeding ticket as Popey's car speedometer was miscalibrated.

I shared 28 years with Harriet and Tom. I enjoyed her wit, her wisdom and generosity. She was always available when I needed help, especially after my surgeries. I miss her greatly and know for sure that she enjoys the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and is in heaven with Tom.

Some of the happiest memories of my life were during childhood when my family went camping with Aunt Harriet, Uncle Tom, and our cousins. As an adult, I loved our many Williams family picnics at Van Buren State Park in South Haven. We always had fun and laughed a lot. Aunt Harriet was a special person, and I will miss her.

Harriet will be missed by many of us at Jackson FUMC. She and Tom had their special place to sit for many years of participation and she was always fun to visit with. She took good care of Tom and others in some difficult times, and I pray that she can now rest in God's loving arms.

To the family of Harriet, I send you my condolences, she was a terrific person to know and I loved to see her coming into our store, because you knew we would have fun! What an indomitable spirit she had.

We will all be missing Harriet sitting in the balcony in the church. She was there with her husband and probably foster children when I joined First Church many years ago. Learned more about Harriet from other church members over the years. What a generous life she lived. She is missed, now a pearl in heaven.

I have many fond memories of Harriet as a neighbor, friend and example of strength in her faith. She always was willing to lend a hand to help or an ear for listening. May God comfort her children grand children in the physical loss of their loved one. Deepest sympathy Lola Callaghan

Dear Pam, Jaime and entire family, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Harriett. I loved greeting her at the church and having her rib me for not making last week's church service. I loved her fast wit and warm embrace. She will be missed!
