Dear Hardman Family
I was saddened to hear of the
passing of Mr. Hardman. Our church,
King Spring Baptist Church in Smyrna
Georgia has a service each Sunday
night at Woodland Ridge and Joe and
Millie were always there and participated in the singing. We
especially enjoyed Joe's wonderful
voice!!! May God comfort and bless
you,Millie, and also your family.
In Christian love.,

Dear Hardman family,
We have already missed Mr. Joe so much since he has been away from Woodland Ridge. Our church has a service every Sunday night and he was such a blessing to us all. We will miss that beautiful bass voice, but know that he will be a real asset to the heavenly choir. I enjoyed looking over at him when I was playing the piano for the service and knowing how much he loved to sing.
Joe and Millie will always have a special place in our memories of Woodland Ridge.
My love and prayers are with you all.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I am a friend from long ago of Una Russell's (Joe's sister-in-law). She helped me so very much when I was in business school in Athens, Georgia, in the early 1940's. I will always remember her kindness and friendship. Please accept my sympathy and tell Una hello, thanks again, and tell her I'd love for her to write to me.
