My dear, sweet, amazing girl,

I still can't believe that I am writing this text to you because you are not here. I'd love to write it to send it to Australia or to a place you went to visit for a bit, and then you could come back to tell me all about it.

I feel lucky and blessed for having met you. I remember all the wonderful performances you gave, how creative and talented you have been, how cheerful, full of love for the people around you ❤️ The first pictures that pop in my head when I think of you is you singing Disney songs to me because you knew I love them, doing somersaults in the garden of the BSO and skating on your shoes. Hm, also being super excited when you had your hair free, you were enjoying that so much! 😊❤️ Thank you for always being so kind and sweet to me (you put me in the Ravenclaw school of Harry potter because as you said "you are nice, and kind, and you are not strict". Thank you for seeing me under the best light, you had the magic ability to see the good in people.

Now you are resting peacefully elsewhere, I am sure that place is great, full of light and happiness. Sing to the angels my love, they will love it ❤️ I will forever keep you in my heart, in a very special place ❤️ Maybe one day we'll meet again ❤️ for now, we can still meet in my dreams.

Rest in peace ❤️
Spyridoula Patouna

Lieve Harriët ❤️
We missen je heel erg. We hopen dat je een goeie tijd hebt in de hemel. Je was mijn Beste vriendin en ben je nog steeds.Je blijft in mijn hart en ik vergeet je nooit meer.
Veel sterkte aan de familie.

Mia and I are so sorry to hear the news, we spoke about Harriet and reflected that without a doubt, she brought so much spark, joy and happiness to everyone. We will never forget our wonderful weekend together in Leiden with you all where we met Harriet for the first time, what an impression she made, full of energy, smiling, talented, entertaining :-) We are thinking of you and Emma and everyone that Harriet touched x
