Strat and Family, We did not know of Harriett's death until reading Bulldog News yesterday. We are sorry for this difficult time for you. I guess I was at the same Beatles' concert that Harriett attend at the Coliseum, and I loved the part about her parents not letting her miss church to see them on the Ed Sullivan show. I remember rushing home after church that night to see them on t.v. Perhaps we at Crowder Baptist had a little different time schedule than Batesville did at that time! We will continue to lift you and your entire family in prayer.

I will continue to pray for you and the girls as I know you will miss her so very much. Precious is the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaind; thou hast loosed my bonds. (Pslms 116: 15-16 KJV) Harriet was a saint.

Story shared: Put Your Head Down"

Sat, 17 Jan 2015 23:52:52 EST

Mrs.. K taught my youngest son in 1st grade. She shared this story with me. As Mrs. K was "discussing" some improper classroom behavior with her students, she noticed Jonathan had his head on his desk and was not paying attention. When she asked him about this behavior, she said he slowly raised his head and said, "Mrs. K, you know my Mama is a teacher. I've heard ALL this before! " Harriet said it was one of the rare times when she did not have a response and was having a hard time keeping it together. So, she said, "Just put your head back down!"

Now Harriet has passed through the Gates of Heaven and has a new body with no pain. I am so sorry, but we know she will not suffer any more. I am sure that Harriet touched many lives here on Earth and I'm sure she is now a Beautiful Angel. I hope she will find my 3 year old daughter "Alexandria" and take care of her for me until I get there. May God be with all of her family and friends during this time. Harriet will be missed, but may God fill the void in your life with his presence. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers. We Love You - Chris & Beth Keene, Columbus, MS

I was sad to hear about Harriet. I enjoyed wonderful times with her at Ole Miss where we were Phi Mus together. I questioned her turning into such a Bulldog and her reply was it was where her bread was buttered. A shame our paths never crossed again after college but show was one of a kind that will always be remembered. May God bless you and give you peace during your time of loss. Deborah and Tim Luster,Clarksdale

When I think of childhood days and school, Mrs. Karatassos's first grade class is indeed my fondest memory. She had such a gentle sweet spirit, and it showed in the way she taught and cared for each of her students. There was just no finer example. I remember with such vividness lining up outside the classroom door coming in from recess on those hot humid days and there stood Mrs. Karatassos with her signature spray bottle of cool water. She'd give all our sweaty little faces a spritz or two to cool us down as we entered back into the classroom. Sure felt good! A beautiful lady inside and out. She will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to the family.
