Condolences
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one and my cousin. You all are always in my thoughts and prayers throughout years even though we were not very close. May GOD bring peace to your hearts at this time of grief.
Tiny always made a visit to Hardesty's a special occasion . She would always greet you with a smile and somehow in that moment the woes of the world seemed to disappear and it was again a bright sunny place. Rest in peace, you'll be missed.
Mom I miss the laughter and the times we acted like complete dorks on the trips that we had and the alien jokes that we used to laugh so hard about that it brought us to tears. No matter if we had bad times or good times I've always loved you. You were always on my mind and in my heart . Russell and I love you and will miss you forever.
God looked around his garden
and found an empty space.
Then he looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
God may carry you in his arms but I will always carry you in my heart. Love you nan, you will be sorely missed.
R.I.P Tiny I loved chatting with you in the store . Prayers for the Family and Friends you will missed by all ..
