Carol, I came to this site to look up information on another friend, and I was stunned when I saw that Harvey had passed away. I will always remember the wonderful evenings Gene and I spent in your home after the Byrne football games, enjoying Harvey's great gumbo and potato salad! He was a wonderful man and I am happy that our paths crossed in this life. I will hold you close in my heart, as I pray that God will take you and the kids into his arms and comfort you in your loss. Praise God, it is only a temporary loss, for you will see Harvey again one day. Love to you and all the family, Carol Hebert
