On behalf of myself, and my father Bill Stovall, I wish to express our sincerest condolences on the passing of Harriet. Harriet was an instrumental part of my Dad's (and Larry Durbin's) real estate company in the 70's. My dad lives in Colorado and he would have attended the service if not for an elective surgery planned this week for Phyllis his wife. He always spoke very fondly of Harriet and often asked those still in touch with her how she was doing. She will be remembered with much love and fondness. Lesli Stovall Layer

I also worked with Harriet in real estate for about 10 years. She was an example of a truly good manager and friend. We enjoyed some travel trips and years of fun together. She will be remembered by many.

Although I did not know Harriet for a long time, I feel so blessed to have crossed paths with her. What a wonderful person she was! I will miss seeing her and talking to her. May she rest in peace.

Harriet and I started selling real estate in Woodstock in 1970. We remained good friends ever since. Most agents only last about five years in the real estate business. Harriet was a super achiever and made it much longer. The last property I sold through Harriet finally got an offer. It was low. I wanted to reject it. Harriet gave me a good talking to. I took the offer and sold the property.
My fondest remembrance of my dear friend was when she went to Blackjack School to learn how to win before attending a real estate convention in Las Vegas. She wanted to win at everything she did. She was a fine and gracious lady and a real lady. I will never forget Harriet.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. My daughter and I were in Mishawaka three weeks ago for my grandson's wedding and stopped in for a short visit with Harriet. We had so many laughs with her while exercising at the Senior Center and
I will always be grateful for having known her.
