Aunt Harriet it was a sweet lovely lady. Would help anyone if she could. I'm so sorry for everyone's lost. I loved when I went into Walmart and seeing her shining face.

Yesterday

Aunt Harriet was the one who helped me keep track of who was who in the family. How she did it I will never know. She remembered, loved and cherished everyone. I will miss her.
