I was so dismayed to hear of Harriet's passing, but I am glad I was able to have dinner with her and Faye Floyd along with my wife, Linda, last year when Linda and I were in Panama City. I remember growing up together and all of us attending Gulf Beach Baptist Church. May our Lord comfort each of you.
