“My deepest sympathies to Roe, Lucynda, Herb, Kenny and Mrs. Sweeney. Harvey was well liked by all he touched. The words "kind-hearted" come to my mind. Harvey helped me during college times and seemed to help everyone he could. The good news is we will see him again in time. He has led a wonderful life that should indeed by celebrated. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.”
