Edna - it was always a pleasure to have you and Harvey travel with our group. Many great memories sprinkled with laughter.

Edna and family...we were so fortunate to have spent some time with you, Edna and Harvey the last few years in Texas and at the Brown family reunions in St. Malo. Harvey was always waiting for us when we came back from our Christmas shopping trip to see if it would fit in the car to go home. Our memories are cherished and our thoughts and prayers are with you Edna. Gerry and Marilyn - Posted by: Gerry and Marilyn Fender (Friends) on: Nov 11, 2014

My sincere condolences to the Dreger family. Harvey was a business client at my Dad's shop during the 60's and 70's. He was a dedicated client and a family friend with an alluring smile. He will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Paul Roy (Friend) on: Nov 11, 2014

Our thoughts today are with you, I remember fondly how patient your father was with all of us, who were friends when we came to visit and always made us feel welcome. I am sorry that we have not been in touch over the years recently and very sorry to hear about your loss. We will hopefully talk to you all when Bonita and I move back to Manitoba. - Posted by: Harold Wiens (Old friend of Linda) on: Nov 11, 2014

My most sincere condolences to Edna and all of their families. I was fortunate to have enjoyed several group tours with Harvey and Edna. They were seasoned travellers and Harvey, with his quiet mannerisms, pleasant disposition, and friendly smile added to the dynamics of the group. It was very evident in conversation that this couple dearly loved their rural life, their family, and seeing the world. I have happy memories of the "after tour get-togethers" when they were part of the party. He will leave a big gap in the family circle that will be filled, I am sure, with happy memories of times shared with family and friends. Thinking of you, Edna, in your time of sadness. Your wonderful travel albums will be a treasure in the years ahead. Shirley Augustine - Posted by: Shirley Augustine (Travel friend) on: Nov 10, 2014
