Dear Lynn and Taylor,
We are so deeply saddened to hear of your loss of Harvey (dad). We just found out today and feel so badly. Harvey was such a nice person and always had a smile on his face. We thought so much of him. He always had the ability to pick up a conversation from the last time we had discussed something. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We are thinking of you.
Love,
Elisa, Steve, Dan and Jessie

Harvey was a great man, and I will never forget the quarters he used to mysteriously find behind my ear when I was a little boy. In fact the last time I saw him about 6 months ago he found yet another quarter. I was truly saddened by his passing, but I will always remember the smile he put on my face everytime I saw him. My families thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
