My Deepest Sympathy in the passing of Harriet
Harriet always knew me when I would go into the Bank and sincerely would ask about Mom and Dad and would wish them well.. As my life has gone on I learned that Harriet had a wonderful Heart and truly cared about her friends and family…it showed with that Liszka ready Smile and the sincere caring Eyes. Just like Tom, Leo, & Frank (and many of the nieces and nephews my peers) Just say a prayer for the Family

Dear Liszka family,
My deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers. I remember spending fun times at St Michaels’s bazaar with Harriet. Harriet was always very friendly, kind and fun to be around. My mother, Mary Gedeon, certainly enjoyed spending time with Harriet at many events at St Michaels throughout the years. May God Bless Harriet’s soul and may she rest in eternal peace. Ann (Gedeon) Porter
