She had the biggest heart, always willing to cook a meal for anyone in need.

Her favorite quote amongst many was “Is anything too hard for God?” As her health began to decline, she became bedridden. Nothing brought more joy than gettingvisits from her church family, phone calls from her friends, watching Judge Judy, family feud or westerns shows. Mother Harvey was a wordsmith, credited for “unique names” for her twelve children, friends children and her grandchildren.
