Herbie and Susan,
The gang from Hardy's (Sam, my Dad, and your Dad) are together again. I know that they are enjoying each other's friendship. We will miss our visits with your Dad. His presence made losing our Dad a little easier. We loved him alot. He's told us many times how crazy he was about you, Susan, and the granchildren. He loved you so much!

We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Harvey's passing.

Having grown up on Warner Road, Travis has many memories of The Harveys through the years. His grandmother, Retha Cutler, thought the world of them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today, and in the days to come. May the memories of a life well spent be of comfort to you.

Herbie, Susan, Jennifer, Kimberly & Amanda. My heart is aching right along with yours in our loss. I have so many wonderful memories that will live forever in my heart and soul. I do find comfort in knowing that he was with you Herbie and doing exactly what he loved to do. He had definitely sufferd enough but it is still difficult to let go of those we love so deeply. This is especially difficult for me because an era of my life just ended; however, I know we will see him, Mary Lewis, and all our other loved ones one day. May God Bless and keep you in the shelter of his love. We will see you Wednesday
