Our thoughts and prayers are with Buddy and the rest of your family. Harriet was a special lady. I worked with her at F&M Bank and Carolina First. She "knew her stuff in banking" and was a great mentor for lots of bankers she worked with. I have fond memories of her, as I know many of her coworkers and friends do also.
