Was saddened to hear of Harriets passing, always enjoyed going into her shop and visiting with her. Prayers go out to her family.
We are so sorry for your loss. I worked with Harriet (as nurses) at the Hand County Memorial Hospital in the early 1960’s. She was a wonderful nurse & friend. Have always stayed in touch with her over the years. She will be missed, but I know she will continue to care for those in heaven. Deepest sympathy. Dixie Enger
