Jimmy & Jim B., I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your son & grandson. Both of you and your families are in my prayers today. I don't remember meeting Harley during my days at Miller-Hanover, but if he was anything like the two of you, he was the "Cream of the crop".
May God's comfort find you often during the next days, weeks, months and always.

At a sad time it may help to know our hearts are touched by your loss. A son is a very previous gift
of your life and he has been taken from you. So young and loved by many. We will nver know why things happen the way they do. Hang onto all the memories that you all shared together they can never be taken from you. May each day give you more strength to get thru this. We are thinking of you.

Harley, wow I still can't believe you are gone. I still remember those days during football camp when you and Shane would tell us about your guys' friend, Bill. I never laughed so hard in my life hearing those stories. I will miss running into you in town and telling you to get a haircut. I know you are in a better place looking down on all of us.
Winebrenner family, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I'm privileged to have known your son since he was a great guy and friend to have. Harley would always make people smile and laugh no matter what the situation and I will never forget that.

Harley- I will always remember how you would try to push me to my limits and tease me when you, me and Zach hung out.. but you never got to me because I knew you were just kidding. I will never forget you and I will miss your curly hair and gorgeous smile that always made me laugh. You will always be loved by everyone and the class of 2006 will remember you ever day of our senior year, on graduation day, and for the rest of our lives. You were a great guy and loved by many. RIP Harley!! Love you!

Jimmy, Amy, Jabe and Sonny:
It is evident from all the passages in this book that Harley was so well loved. If there were words that could make you feel better at this time, you know I'd say them......but right now, until I see you, just know that I love you all so much.....Why this kind of heartache hits those people who are so kind and so good....is beyond me. One day we will all know those answers...in the meantime, my heart hurts for all of you.....Much love, Vicki

Harley- Wow, I never thought this would happen. I never thought i would be hearing that it was you on Friday morning. The last time i saw you was last school year. I can remember standing in at work talking to you, when i worked there. I remember all the things we talked about. When I was at my locker between classes you would stop by and talk to me, we would exchange a few words and then go on our ways until we could finish our conversation at work. You always knew how to put a smile on someone's face. I still can't believe this happened. We love you, and we will always miss you.
Winebrenner family- I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I'm praying your family can get through this. Harley was a great guy. God has him in a safe place and he is free from harm.
Kait- I love you hunny. If you need anything, we are all here for you. He loves you!!! He will always watch down on you and keep in safe arms.

James, Harley, Charles, Mike Dusty and I called you so many names I can't remember them all. =)I miss you alot. I can't believe you are gone. All those funny times in Photo 2, I'll never get back. Getting in my pictures, "Pam, it's to dark, Pam's it's to light!" haha. Hiding in the darkroom to scare me, asking me to dance (haha) I wish you could have walked with us on graduation. We all love and miss you so much. I guess we will see each other again someday. You will always be remembered.
