Harvey's is in God's Campground sitting around a campfire looking down and wanting us to all be strong. Harvey had a void in his life knowing that he had lost his whole family in less than 2 years.

He left us knowing that we all loved him and had a smile on his face when the Lord called him home. You brought me so much joy into my life. We both needed each other. Till we meet again.

So sorry for your loss.

Sherry,Daron and to the rest of Harvey's family. Mine and Cecil's heart is aching for all of you. We would pass by down on our road and there Harvey would be sitting either starting a fire or just sitting there on a log with a stick playing in the fire. He was a awesome young man who will be missed by everyone. I'm so glad he got to share the love and happiness that he received by Sherry and Daron. They loved him so much and made sure Harvey felt that love. We are so sorry for your loss. We are praying for each and everyone of you. Our hearts are with you also. God Bless you all. Your friends, Cecil and Brenda Slankard

He will be greatly missed & I will miss the talks Sherry ,that you & I shared about Harvey. I know that he was one Lucky Young Man to have had you in his Life. Rip Harvey! You are now home with the rest of your family that you yearned for so long. Love ya, always ! Go Rest High On That Mountain!
