I only went to Clearwater High my senior year but remember Harriet as we were in home room together. She was always so friendly and outgoing. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. My sincere sympathy to her family.

It saddens me every time I have to write a condolence. Not that I don't feel badly for the family but for the loss of any class mate. Harriet was in my home room, and her smile is fresh in my mind right now as if I were back in that class room with her. My sympathies to those who loved her. Lynn

I considered Harriet a very special friend although we had very little if not any association after High School. We both graduated from FSU and I would see her occasionally on campus, as we were there at the same time. She was so smart and pretty and kind. I knew her mostly through church activities and we were in youth groups together. I know she would have been "my kind" of person as I have such a high regard for those who rescue animals who can't fend for thmselves and all they want is to be loved. I know she must have been a wonderful teacher because of her soft spoken, loving personality. What a great tennis player she was too!!
This world has lost another fabulous Soul, gone on to what ever lies ahead. Jean

I considered Harriet one of my closest friends at CHS. Our contact was sporadic over the years but I did see her a few times after I moved back to the area in 1997. The last time I saw Harriet was about a year ago when we had dinner together. When we did get together it was as if we were still high school friends with so much to talk about. She was such a kind, wonderful person who loved and was devoted to her family. I will really miss her.

I hope Harriet's family will read these condolences and get some comfort in knowing how much many of us loved Harriet. She was so well thought of by all who were blessed to know her. My heart is heavy knowing she has passed so soon. I pray for her family during this most difficult time.
