I knew Mrs. Harbison (Ms. Fernicola, as I knew her) through her son, Jeremy - he and I were friends that group up in the same Helena neighborhood in the 1980s. Living near Jeremy, I paid him a good many visits when we were kids, and was always warmly welcomed by Mrs. Harbison. She was a wonderful mother to Jeremy and, I know, will be missed greatly by friends and family. My late condolences go out to Jeremy and his family.

Sorry about the los of Janella. We all go way back and have been friends for a long time. She will be missed, but you all have her still in your hearts and memories. Cherish all of that.
Remember when my dad first meet her. He called her Neller for short and every time he seen her, he would call out Neller. Loved her dearly and so did I.
