Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Harve Cornish family.
Condolences to Harve Allen’s family and friends from first cousin Jo Ann Smth Boyd. Harve Allen and Janie Carolyn grew up just a field across from our home in the Mt Pleasant community. Uncle Rufus Cornish was my mother, Myrtle’s, brother. My brother, Jinks Ray and Harve were the same age and Janie and I were in the same class at Monette High School in Monette, Arkansas.
Praying for you Carol and Jeff. Aunt Jo and Uncle Harve are back together. They are no longer in pain and with their families in heaven. What a wonderful reunion they are having. Love you all, Amy, Danny Kempson and Forrest Bonner Smith
