I taught with Harriett for many years. Then I got to help her open the yarn shop. She was the sweetest and most kind person I ever knew! Heaven has just added another angel.

So sorry for your loss. I did not know Harriet or Terry personally but worked with Terry’s mom, Mary McNabb, at Centralab. She spoke often of Terry and Harriet so I feel as if I knew them through Mary. My sincere condolences to all the family.

Terry and Elisha, we mourn for your loss. I first met Harriett at her yarn shop where she made every person who walked in feel welcome. My family will never forget her, and what a joy she was to all to knew her. She was an absolute gem. The world is poorer without her.
