I first met Harriet through our common volunteer work with State of Israel Bonds probably 45 years ago. She was and remained a beautiful woman with an infectious smile. Our paths crossed often over the years and it was always a delight to speak with her. My condolences to the extended family and the Canadian Jewish community has lost a dedicated volunteer and leader.

I will miss that beautiful face to say hello and talk about our wonderful trip to China and how much she had to do with us having a memorable trip. I just saw her a week ago with a covering over her face to hide from the cold and I didn't say hello as I didn't want her to be cold, but now I am saying goodbye and telling her that she will always be a memory in my mind. Only Linda & Siggy

To Harriet's family, I am very sorry to learn of Harriet's passing. I have always admired and looked up to Harriet, and she was one of the women who has most influenced me. I joined ORT as a young newlywed and over the years learned so much from Harriet about community involvement and fundraising. Harriet's love of and commitment to Israel was a great example to many. She was classy, stylish and spoke her mind. I now live abroad so have not seen Harriet for many years. She will be greatly missed. With all my sympathies, Kathleen Crook

To the family of Harriet Morton, on behalf of Israel Bonds, please accept our sincerest condolences on the loss of your beloved mother and grandmother. Harriet was a longtime supporter of Israel Bonds and a very active layperson over the past number of decades. We were delighted that she was able to join us at our recent Women's Division luncheon in June. May her Neshama rest in Gan Eden and may the family find strength in her memories.

When we had not received our traditional holiday phone call from our friend Harriet, we had a feeling maybe something had happened. My husband John and I are so very sorry to hear of her passing. We first met Harriet on a trip to Italy in 1997 and we just clicked! Though we live in New Brunswick, we kept in touch over the years and visited her several times in Toronto. We have such fond memories of her; her sharp wit, her intellect and her kindness will always be remembered.
