On behalf of the Bidwell Family and of my daughters Karen (nee Edensword) Pritzker and Diana (nee Edensword) Conway and my two sons-in-law and my eight grandchildren, I wish to express our deepest sympathy to the three sons of Harriet and to their families and to Harriet's multitudes of friends and admirers. Harriet and I worked on compiling a history of the Hanson Clan beginning with Andreas Hans Olofsson (1815-1899) from Rattvik, Sweden. With Harriet's help biographies were compiled on anyone related to his descendants through Hans Hanson (Harriet's paternal grandfather). Harriet's was one of the early Skagit County pioneer families and continues to this day to produce illustrious members. Because my two daughters share some DNA and legacy with Harriet's family and sons, we were always eager to collaborate, and we separately travelled to the same homesteads in Sweden to do our research. Harriet's sharp mind and good memory provided a lot of clues to chase down, and we spent many long hours poring over old newspaper clippings and family albums together. My daughters Karen and Diana and some of my grandchildren have benefitted from face-to-face contacts with mutual relatives even though separated by oceans and decades. Harriet was always proud of her heritage, and it is hoped the younger generations will continue to show interest in meeting with their long-lost cousins in Scandinavia and all over North America. If Harriet had not helped commit her thoughts to paper, much would have been lost to posterity. I know Harriet would like her family to continue to persue her interest in liaising between various branches of the family, as she really enriched the network for them to use. One of the nicest things about working with Harriet was that she was not a revisionist (that is, she told it like it really was). I will miss our annual get-togethers to update the family records so that blood members and their nearest-and-dearest will never have to start from scratch on their Hanson Family Tree. Harriet was a wonderful lady; and it will be a long time before another one like her comes along. Work done at her agency has helped a lot of people. She will never be forgotten.

Just to say it was a great pleasure to have known Harriett.
I totally respected her for her vivaciuos personality and sabi.
As she's entered into the realm of God I pray she is blessed abundantly as our life here on earth is only a short separation from them.
I'd like to thank Harriett for all the nice experiences she shared with me on many an occasion and also her family for showing utmost respect to her in love.

Our condolences to the Follman families from Frank & Eunice Van Valkenburg.
My parents, Frank & Thrina Van Valkenburg were good friends of Harriet's parents, Albin & Vivi Hanson. I remember a trip on the Hanson yacht in the l930s out to the islands. We stayed out over a weekend and had a great time. We always thought highly of the Hanson family. Harriet did a great job with her counseling business and will be missed. Sincerely, Frank & Eunice Van Valkenburg
