Dear Byron,
The days have passed and it is still hard to believe that my email friend isn't there to send me a cheery note, or comment on something I said. While we never met, I felt as if I knew Harriet a bit, and was glad to be able to share some support as we shared our cancer journey. It pains me terribly that hers has ended.
Please accept my sympathies and deepest condolences for your loss of this lovely lady.

Byron and family, I know you don't remember me but I knew Harriet most of my life. I always felt that Mildred, Red, Harriet and Ric were part of my family and Harriet will be missed by all who knew her.

Dear Byron and family; My wife and I would love to extend our condolences over your losing your partner in life, Harriet. We know your times spent together going to your winter home in Florida will be greatly missed, as well as just having her by your side always. May you be comforted and encouraged as we have been in the "resurrection" hope, when loved ones will be reunited under much better conditions than we see now and "the former things have passed away". Jesus promised that "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...to a resurrection of life" Very sincerely,
How you can show support

Linda and Karen,
I was so saddened to learn of the death of your mother. Know that you and your family are in my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers. It was an honor to teach Spanish to both of you at Bunker Hill and to have the opportunity to travel to Spain and Mexico with you, Linda. May God grant you peace and comfort in knowing what a special lady your mom was.

We are sad to hear of the death of Harriet. Her mother, Mildred Locke, was such a dear friend and much appreciated supporter of my daughters during their college years. Harriet was such a compliment to Viewmont School and the seeds of her career will bear fruits for years to come.
