Guest Book

I found a copy of Mr Hatcher's funeral program in a dollar general parking lot in Pensacola, FL. Though I never met him, I do know what it feels like to lose someone dear to me. I pray that all who are grieving over the loss of Mr Hatcher will feel an overwhelming sense of peace and joy with the knowledge that he now sits at the feet of the Father. He has made it to where we all yearn to be. He's finally home. I pray for immeasurable blessings and success for this family. I pray for great health and financial stability. Most importantly Lord, I pray that if there is anyone in this family or anyone reading these words that doesn't have a personal relationship with you, Lord please put them in the path of someone destined to give them the gospel message. Please Lord watch over and protect this family. In Jesus name, amen.

11/14/19...Worst day of my life. I loved my grandfather so much. Every time we did something upsetting to him, he never yelled, he would just sigh, “mehhh” and mumble how bad we was under his breath. He would also walk around the house making cat noises, then be like “Guys, did you hear that, what was that noise”.Even when we were little we always knew that was him. He was the true definition of a family man. I’m gonna miss my grandpa.♥️
