Essie, my prayers are with you & all of Jovons family. Continue to trust in GOD. I know the pain of losing a child, however, your faith will sustain you. Remember to " walk by faith, not by sight" !!!! That was truly a wonderful write up that paints a beautiful picture much different than the 1st story published. It makes for a great legacy.

Essie,
Words cannot express how sorry I am. I know that Jovon was a very special part of your life. In a blink of an eye your life will never be the same and nothing anyone says can change that, but please know that your friends are here for you. The strength you have shown through your life will help your grandchildren handle this very difficult time. You are their heart and they are looking at you to guide them moving forward on how to use God to understand why. Jovon has accomplished what he was sent to do and now he has been called back to heaven to rest. My thoughts are with you and I know that Jovon is now with his sisters and brother watching over all of you. May an angel walk beside each of you to help ease your pain.
With Love & Friendship,
Maggie Fiedler

To The Harvey Family & Friends

The article in today's paper truly sums up the life he lived. He was a great everything to everybody. The perspective given from the article was true and accurate to the man he was. Our families have been friends for years and we feel this loss as our own. Ollie & Essie you are in our prayers we love all very much.

May you all find comfort to know that no one can hurt him any more. To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD! Jay is at rest, remember all of the good things that he has done, keep his memories in your hearts. May GOD bless all of you! Love to you all, tina goings and family.
