To Larry, and the Phillips Family. Our heart-felt condolences are sent your way. Harriet's beautiful smile, laugh, and twinkling eyes will always be sketched and stored in my memory. I will hold closely the talks we had in my home after the death of Larry's father. I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort you all in these coming days, and months. Keep fresh in your heart every single moment spent with your live one. Harriet was true to herself😇🙏🏽❤🩸✝️
