I remember Mrs Hardin from Shurlington Baptist Church. She always had a smile and a kind word to brighten the lives of all she knew. She always had time to care for everyone. This world is a much better place because she & Mr. Hardin were here.

Ms. Libby was such a beautiful lady, inside and out. I will miss seeing her at our Homebound Committee meetings; she was very instrumental in the work we accomplished for our Lord. She visited the Homebound regularly and was always there to help with the gifts we prepared. Her faithfulness will always be remembered. She was the best dressed lady I have ever seen, and her joy and smile were contagious. I loved her and she leaves an empty spot in all our hearts, but we know she is happy and healthy and in the presence of our Lord. Prayers for comfort and peace for her family and friends.
