Such a dear and wonderful friend for so many years! We would talk every week and I would stop by to see her a couple times a week. When she was moved from her apartment by her family, I couldn’t find her. I hope that now when she looks down from heaven, she knows how many of us cared deeply for her. She is with her beloved husband and hurts no more. They are at peace with each other in heaven. My heart breaks but I am glad she is no longer in pain. May your soul rest in peace Harriet and may God be with your friends and those who cared for you.
