Lynne 'Angel' Harvey Passes Away

This morning....

damn...Paul has run on some hard times lately.

First his long illness and then his wife passes...looks like he may be away from the radio even longer now (which of course should be the last thing on his mind now).

This is indeed sad news. If you've been a Paul Harvey listener over the years you know how much Angel meant to him. Paul would mention her often on broadcasts. This is just going to break his heart and maybe more....

I give Paul six months before he passes. That I have heard is the trend after being married a long time and a spouse passes away.

it is not a trend, it is an empirically proven fact.

George Burns was married to Gracie Allen for 47 years. He lived another 32 years after she died!

It's been a year and half since my mom died. Dad is almost 82 and looks and feels strong.

When you listen to a broadcaster whom you have connected with and they have shared part of themselves over the years they feel like family. Their loss becomes yours.

Condolences to all the Harvey's.
