May you find comfort in the promises of our Heavenly Father Jehovah God at Isaiah 35:5-6 and Revelation 21:3-4.
My sympathy to the Hardin Family. I grew up with your Family in West Bauxite, called Swamp Poodle back then. I never knew James as a adult. I had the privilege of knowing Jimmy and working together at Reynolds. He was a good man.I also had the opportunity to meet Suzzanne at the Bauxite Reunion in 2017. She is a great Ambassador for the Hardin Family. My prayers willl be for you as you grieve James' death. May God bless each of you in the coming days.
YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS DURING THIS TIME. THE FAMILY HAS OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY.
