Sheila Norris-Brummett wrote a sympathy message

“To the family of Harley, please accept my sincerest condolences. I spent a good part of my childhood playing at Harley's childhood home in Ireton, Iowa only 3 blocks from my home. I was good friends with his sisters, Lori, Joella and Audrey. When I heard the news of circumstances surrounding his death, it saddened me even more. My daughters & Iexperienced the same with their dad. Some deaths are definitely more difficult to get past. My heart & prayer goes out to each & every family member..”
