I just read Slow Dancing with a Stranger because my own mother was just diagnosed with Alzheimer´s. My husband and I moved back to our old hometown as we will soon be moving into my parents home when we need to begin to take care of her. I am scared...
May you rest in peace and may your memory be a blessing.

I knew Harvey from kindergarten and the first grade in the Dozier School in St. Louis. Although our paths separated over the years, I followed his brilliant career with great admiration, and an occasional communication. I am deeply saddened by his death and convey my very best wishes to his family.
