  10. Aunt Jackie, my heart is so heavy to hear of Uncle Harvey’s passing. I have fond memories of your visits over the years, but most of all as I grew up and began to have deeper conversations with both of you.

We will cherish these memories and pray for peace and healing for you during this most difficult time. Love you so much ❤️‍🩹❤️🙏 Maria

  11. Alex and Whitney and families,
    My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I hope that you can continue to remember your Dad (and grandfather) by cherishing the many precious memories you have shared over the years. Your annual OBX trip will never be the same, but he would want you to continue the tradition for years to come. Uncle Harvey leaves behind a beautiful legacy of service, humor, kindness and love. Hugs, prayers and lots of love to you all,
    ❤️🙏❤️‍🩹
