Pete, I was just heart broken when I learned of your loss of Harding. He was one of my favorite people and I enjoyed so much working with him at Branch Funeral Home. I shall truly miss him. My prayers are with you.
I remember Harding as a baby visiting us at home, as a little boy standing behind me when I drove bus 7, a high school student, and a young man. He was a sweet boy and nice young man and it was a pleasure to know him. We are promised a place of perfect rest and perfect peace. Love and prayers for you Pete and family.
