I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. Hartwick was a very special lady. I never saw her that she did not make me feel loved and I know the world will be less without her.

Dear Grady, Lisa, and Kim:
Seems like yesterday that your Mom (mother-in-law) and I were teaching. I always knew when a student had been in her 6th grade class because they were much better math students for having had her as a teacher. She was a good friend and a great mentor for me.
Love you all and God Bless you

Dear Amon, Ray and the rest of your family,
We are so sad that we have lost a dear friend and relative. I shall never forget our first time together in Greenville, SC, at the birth of Clan McAlister of America. Amon, you and your dear Lois were so supportive of all your distant cousins. She will have a seat at God's table just like she sat at our McAlister table and gave us all inspiration. Our sympathy to all the family at your great loss. Paul & Nita

Ms. Hartwick was my sons teacher when he attended the acacemy. We lived at Pettus at the time and felt blessed that he could attend that school and have great teachers like her. She was not only a great teacher but a great lady. My thoughts and prayers are for the family.

To the entire Hartwick family we are so sorry for your loss. Grady your mother had a major part in my education and was one of my favorite teachers. I know the impact that she had on Jeff too. He loved your mother and talked about what a great lady she was and I know he was blessed not only to have her and your dad in his life. From the two of them he also has the best friend anyone could hope for. Please know you are in our
prayers and may you have comfort in knowing she is standing at the right hand of God!
God Bless,
