Harvey and Barbara were friends with my parents, Ted and Joyce Boyer, from Clairemont Emmanuel Baptist Church. Harvey played tennis with my Dad for years. My sincerest sympathies to your family at this difficult time. Both my parents are also in heaven now. I hope they are all having a nice reunion together with our Lord. God bless you all.
