Harriet was a fun and dynamic friend. We shared each other's company through many of Gilda's programs, but explored arts and the botanic gardens too. I loved her creativity, her willingness to try new things -- both food and adventures. I will miss her wisdom and resourcefulness. May she be our angel to guide us all.

Brian and Stacey~

Your mom was a true fighter. Never a complainer and always a determined spirit. She was very opinionated and intelligent. She always thought "out of the box" and often came up with answers to many unknown questions. I will miss her deeply. She loved all of you and your families very much.

Dear Stacey, Brian & Paula,

Your mother (mother-in-law) had a charming witt. She was a special person who had a special gift in making you feel great. She went out of her way to touch others with her kindness. We will all miss her very much.

Dear Brian & Stacy: Your dad called me and I feel so bad about your mom. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Wish I could be there with you but it is almost impossible due to where I live. Love, Aunt Irma
