Mr. Hastings was a good kind man with a gentle spirit. So smart and serene. He always had a smile and a kind demeanor to let you know you were important to him. He lived and learned and gave and grew and drew from the Holy Spirit living within. He was ready to share the gospel of Jesus with those he came in contact with.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Aunt Imogene,
I know you and your family will miss Uncle Harvey. I didn't get to know him but my mother Dimple thought he was an absolute joy. I remember seeing you both at Mama's funeral and it was so difficult to look him in the face...he was Alma made over. I write this with tears thinking he is the last of my great aunt's and uncle's but there is comfort knowing he is at peace with other loved ones. Bless you and your family and I know today will be very special.
Hugs from California.
