Sam and Janice, what can I say? EVERYone loved Harriette, simply everyone, including me. We love you, too. I wish so much we could have had one more visit. Now she's part of the host of heaven with Phillip. God's arms are big enough to comfort you, too, even while he's cradling Harriette close to his heart.

With love,

Dear Harriette, We will miss you greatly, you were always a great friend, the kindest, sweetest, caring and concerned Matriarch of our family. You were a true Charlestonian and Southern Lady who was always willing to give unto others. You held a spirituality that everyone should mirror and strive for in their own lives. I will always miss you with all my heart as I know Janice, Gentry and Sam will. Put in a good word for me with God, I can use all the extra help I can get. I am so glad I got to see you before you decided to move on , it was enough to hold me until we meet again. All my love, George

Mr. Hanvey,
I was honored to be the Pharmacist Mrs. Hanvey called on for years "just to ask a question" or "just talk". I will never forget our many conversations and the few times I was able to see her in person. I know you will miss her greatly as I will miss her gentle sweet voice on the other end of the phone. I will pray for God's peace for you and your family.
Love,
Teal Dixon Rabon
and my sons Houston and Griffin
