Not sure what to say?

Dear Hastings family, I was so sorry to hear that my favorite dentist was no longer with us...I was probably one of Jerry's last patients as I was in there on Feb 26th and he was telling me about his upcoming trip to Florida. It just won't be the same without him...so sorry for your loss.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the much-too-soon passing of one of my favorite relatives (Jerry was a first cousin). He and I shared a number of fond childhood memories from time spent at our grandfather's farm near Maroa. My heart goes out to Joan, Brian, the twins, Judy, and all the others whose loss is so deeply felt.

Dear Joan & family,
Don and I send our most sincere sympathy to you all. Jerry was indeed a very principled, very nice and kind man. We shall miss him and remember him with fondness. Don & Jane Perry

My heart goes out to you and your family. I never knew how hard it is to live without your father until I lost my father. The heart will heal but always remember all the fond memories and the time you and your family had. Im sorry I couldnt tell you in person but my daughters husband is leaving for Iraq and Im in LA.

Brian, Wendy and family,
Sorry to hear the passing of your Dad. I didn't know him too well, but I could see what a nice guy he was. Our prayers and sympathy are with you at this difficult time.

Jerry Hastings was a remarkable man. He was a man of principle, high morals and intellect. He was the Patriarch of our family and he will be greatly missed. Joan, Brian, Lana, Becky and Barry, I'm sorry I couldn't make it back. My thoughts are with you now.

He and his entire staff were wonderful to the children, and made such a difference in the dental health of so many of the Head Start families. He was such a wonderful, caring, and kind person and dentist. My husband Keith and I were patients of his, but moved to the...

Dr. Hastings Family,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time of need. Memories will see you through alot as will God's strength. Dr. Hastings was such a good man. This story we have told many times and would like for others to know also. The first year we started going to Dr. Hastings around 1983 we didn't have insurance,we paid as we went. We got behind as we were both out of work, that Christmas we got a card from the office. Dr. Hastings had wiped our bill clean! That...
