On behalf of the Martinez family, I would like to express our deepest condolences to Susie, Lisa, Lori and Steve ~ as well as the rest of Grandma Harriet's loved ones. Grandma Harriet was always kind to me even when Steve and I were riding the 1/2 pipe we built in her backyard till the late hours of the night!!

Sullivans, you guys form so many of my adolescent memories that I consider you more than friends, I consider you family.

I hope to see you soon!

Please contact me at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Julio Martinez

Grandma,
I miss you so much. I am glad your not suffering and are in a better place. I hope you know how much I love you and am going to miss you. Thank you for everything you ever did for me.

I remember the first time I met Harriet. Marty and I were dating and he brought me home to meet the family. Harriet was a spunky woman who spoke her mind when things needed saying. She told me she noticed a positive change in her son. "You'll be good for him." she told me. And Marty and I have been good for each other ever since. I will miss her no nonsense attitude about life. I am happy to know she has gone to a better place, but that her spirit remains in her offspring.
