in honor of Harden.

Papaw was such a sweet and precious soul. He always had a story to tell and even if you already heard it he made it interesting. I learned something new every time I got the pleasure of speaking with him. Wether I was coming for eggs or his haircut he was always pleasant and had a smile on his face.
Our condolences go out to Mildred Jerry and the rest of the family. We love you.

MY dad loved to tell stories and they were always interested. He could tell a story over and over and you could never tired of hearing them. MY dad had 4 daughters and l granddaughter and l great grand daughters. He always treated everybody equal. He never showed any favoritism to any of them.
