I was heart broken to hear of Mr. Hardee's passing. I will always remember the first time I met him, at one of Sarah & Paul's showers, he was so warm & kind & his words that day really touched me. He truly was a very special person, who I know left many wonderful and heart felt memories that will inspire and comfort his family forever. I am so sorry that I could not be with you today but know that you are all in my thoughts & prayers. Much love, Joannie
