Uncle Hartt was such a sweet man. The last time I saw him at the Tolson family reunion, he said one of the cutest things to me I've ever heard. He said, "Wow, it must be great to be you; you're so pretty." Isn't that a sweet compliment? What a great man. He will be missed. But I know there are others who are rejoicing to be reunited with him. A life well-lived.

Mr. Tolson - God has opened his arms and welcomed you. Know that your time on Earth was so attributable to the life you led and the children you raised. May your family find comfort in the memories they will hold of you.
God bless you.
