  • 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
