My sincere sympathy to all the family. I remember Harriet from my youth. She and my mother, Jean Jolley Blandin, were good friends. I remember her as very attractive and outgoing, with a nice laugh. To lose your mother so soon after your father must be difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
