Harriet was a gift from God serving as a wonderful example of a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. The Lord used Harriet to touch the lives of many through her servant's heart and fun-loving ways expressing her love for Him and others. She was hard working and persevered through difficult times with an unselfish and considerate attitude maintaining a light-hearted sense of humor.
