Doris: Sorry to hear about Harvey. I always enjoyed talking to him at the ball games. He was good man and I know he will be missed by many in the Barton area. I wish I could be there, but I am in the hospital in Nashville, Tn. I had neck surgery yesterday and I hope to get out tomorrow. I know times like this are hard to bear, but know that many friends and loved ones are thinking and praying for your family. I certainly enjoyed the years knowing you and your family and will be thinking about you, your children and your grandchildren. I hope to be in the Barton area during the month of October, maybe our paths will cross. God bless in the meantime.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Turner family. Harvey often spoke of his family with pride and rightfully so. Over the length of our 35 year friendship Harvey was always cheerful and of good humor and I will miss him. May God bless and keep you all.
Mrs. Doris and family I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Harvey. My God be with ya'll in this time of need. Ya'll will be in our prayers.
So sorry for your loss. Sometimes when the patriarch of the family falls. You know it was coming but still we mourn. The bible gives us a hope though(JOHN 5:28,29) soon all in the graves will rise again... but for now may the peace that excell all thought be with the family at this very important time.
Mrs. Doris and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Harvey. Cherish all the good memories and be thankful he is in a better place.
Love and prayers to you all.
Doris Ann and Family,
We are so sorry for you loss. Please know we are thinking about you. We send our deepest sympathy for you and your family.
My heart is broken. Such a wonderful man, and I was so very lucky to know him. He will always be a part of my heart, a grandpa I may not have known as well as I wanted, but knew well enough to see the fantastic man he was. I'll miss him very much, I only wish we'd have had more time. Prayers for the family. I love you all
