We just learned of Harriet's passing this week. I live in Florida and my mother came down from Jersey to visit. We were planning a drive to Delray Beach, but when my mother couldn't make contact, she sensed something was wrong. I found out through searching the internet and had to break the aweful news to mom. She had known Harriet since 1965. A long time. Although they weren't in constant contact, my mother considered Harriet one of her best friends. She was there for us when we lost my father in 1984. I have very fond memories of Harriet as I was growing up. At one point she lived just down the street from us in Toms River. She was a wonderful woman and could light up a room. Our condolences to her family. She will be truly missed. Rest in peace dear friend.

Harriet was a neighbor at the Pines of Delray North. We helped each other out after Hurricane Wilma. It is so sad she has been taken so young in her life. We will miss her and her laughter and jokes.

I was so sorry to hear this news. I worked with Harrriet in Middletown, CT. Although I only knew her for a little over a year, she made a lasting impression. She had a great outlook on life and she was funny as hell. She will be greatly missed. I hope that whereever she is now, it's sunny and warm.

David, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your sister, Harriet.
I used to come to your house and play guitar and hang out at band gigs when we attended Plant school.
Hope you are doing well.
