My heart is with all of you during this incredibly difficult time. Michelle, Duane, and the kids—I'm so sorry for your loss. Aunt Irizola, I'm praying for you as you grieve your daughter. Vanessa, I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister. Harriett was truly one of a kind—the life of the party, outspoken, full of energy, and always bringing joy wherever she went. She left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her, and she will be deeply missed. I love you all so much and am here for you in any way you need.

It's so much I can say about such a beautiful person. This lady was like a second mom to me growing up. Although, she is my cousin and the fact that she has more baby pictures of me than anyone I know. Her bathing me in her sink. My heart is grieving. I wish I could just tell her one last time that I love her and she means so much to me. I could tell her voice out of 100 people. Her love for elephants. How she was always at the hospital, rather I was having a baby or my brother's car accident. Man she is going to be missed. I'm still hurting so my message is all over the place but I wish that I could just tell her one last time. Rest easy my beautiful loved one. Love, coco And yes that's the nickname she gave me that I still use 40 years later.

Mama Harriet—as I lovingly called her—was someone who embraced me from the very beginning when I started working at the Courthouse. She was truly a pillar in Courtroom #303.

I never imagined meeting someone and connecting so quickly, so genuinely. She loved me like a daughter, and I cherished every moment we shared—our breakfasts, long conversations about life, our walks, dinners, and lunches. Those moments meant more to me than words can fully express.

This loss is a hard one for me. My heart is heavy.

To her family, please accept my most sincere condolences. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful soul with all of us.

Mama Harriet, I will love and miss you always.

#303forlife.
