I am so sorry for your loss - I have always loved Mrs. Hardt! She always had such a beautiful smile - could light up a room! She always took such great care of Brian and Eric, along with all of the kids/grandkids. What an amazing woman. God Bless Mrs. Hardt and all of the family. Hugs...

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I remember your mother babysitting me when I was very young and all of the times spent with her through the years. I'll miss her.
