The world has lost a great person with Harriets passing. She was one of my Ombudsman on the Andrew Jackson 25 years ago and I have thought of her almost daily all these years, for she helped to make my husband and I the couple we are today.

Harriet was one of those special people whom you meet only once in your life. She was so much a part of my life for ten years during the 80's. She was the person who lead me to the Lord and I shall always be grateful because HE is a large part of my life now. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jerry and girls

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Ericka was one of my best friend for many many years. I do not have one childhood memory without Harriet and your entire family in it. She was a great woman and I am very proud to say she was just like a mother to me. God bless all of you.

I am grateful to have had the oppurtunity to have met her. She welcomed me and my children unconditionally as part of her family and that meant a lot to me. She will certainly be missed. I do take some solace in the fact that she is in a better place truly free from the troubles of the world and enjoying the fruits of her labor with the Lord. Goodbye Harriet we love you.
