Betty and Family,
We have so many fond memories of Louie and the Hadden Family. Louie always came to the rescue for the Moore family. No matter what the need was. Louie provided transportation for me to go to Tennessee to see my mother and gave my mother a ride from Tennessee to Jacksonville.

Louie truly lived his life in a way that honored our Lord and Savior. He helped so many and was a friend to us.

We will be praying for all of you during this time of loss....but also rejoicing that Louie is with the Lord and no longer suffering.

God bless you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Hadden family,
I will always be grateful for the Christ-like love Mr. Hadden showed me over the many years I knew him. I observed first-hand his willingness to help those in need.
His actions spoke louder than his words - God Bless you all. Alex

We were greatly distressed this morning to learn of the loss of our long time friend since high school days more than 60 years ago.
We share your loss, but we will never lose our fond memories of the many good times of yesteryear.
