We first met Harriet and Joe on a holiday to Germany. Who knew then what good friends we would become. We spent happy hours with them in Tucson where they made us feel part of the family. Harriet was a beautiful talented lady and it is with great sadness but knowing how our lives were enriched by her friendship, that we will attend her memorial.
