I have so many wonderful memories of Mrs. Wood. In the 1950s,her son John was my best friend, and I spent many an afternoon in her beautiful home on Walnut Street in New Orleans. We would all play Canasta in the parlor on rainy days. In the summer, I looked forward to weedend adventures with John in the wilds of the North Shore, where the General and Mrs. Wood had a camp -- 'Wood's Acres', as I recall. She was always a generous hostess. My sympathies to the Wood family.
Leonard and I are so sorry about the passing of your mother. She was a remarkable woman. I always loved and admired her. Since she and my Mom were such good friends, I used to sub in their bridge parties sometimes when I lived in New Orleans. She was a real pro and such fun. Did I ever tell you that my Mom (Minette Ferrier) introduced her to Andrew Hillary. She also testified in her divorce trial against Emile Wagner.They were neighbors on Prichard Place. After Daddy died your Mom was my Mom's special angel. She really helped her thru her hard times. Once in Mandeville I used to see you Mom frequently in Church and elsewhere. She was such a lovely person , I'm sure she left you with some fond memories. My Mom will be happy to see her again. Love,,,,,,,,Margie
Rest in Peace, Harriet.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May the words in Psalms 34:18 bring you hope and comfort.
