I am so very sorry to hear about Harriet's passing. She was my Dad's first cousin on the Mulligan side and he loved her very much as his dear cousin. Harriet was always gracious and kind to me as a child and warm and welcoming as an adult. She and Paul were a great couple and I am happy thinking that they will be reunited in the after life. The family has my sincere condolences.

When growing up in Attleboro I had the pleasure of meeting and learning from the Bullock's. I remained in contact and over the 50 years I knew her she went from being Mrs Bullock (my buddies Mom), to my friend Harriett (AKA Ma Bull). I am grateful to be lucky enough to know the wonderful family that she and Paul raised. As Charles Bud Thompson would say "those Bullock's are wonderful people". With great respect, my condolences.
