Truly a "one of a kind" person. Mrs. Harriet or "HAG" as her initials read and she was lovingly called; was such a special lady. Worked w/her in the finance business at Purvis/Audubon and kept in touch with her afterward as she & my son share the same birthday...Never knew her age; just the day & month. She will be greatly missed by many. Sending love and prayers to the family. Eunice Berthelot
