Min. Linda Harden will be greatly missed. Min. Linda was a Great Encourager and a prayer warrior who truly lived for the Lord. She was a family person. She loved her children very much. Min. Linda spoke life to me, no matter what situation I was in. She would tell you what The Word says concerning it. And she'll begin to pray. Min. Linda Hardin was a Trumpet for The Lord. Whether she sung a song of Praise, spread the Gospel of Christ or prayed. She allowed the Lord to use her greatly. I will always remember her. ❤️ The Culbreth and The Laney family.

Words cannot express how much Reverend Linda Carol will be missed down here. She was an extraordinary woman of God, with an angelic voice. Growing up, I was always in admiration of how she carried herself. My prayers and condolences go out to her children, siblings, and the rest of the Phillips/Hardin Family.

Cheryl Brown & Family

I met Mrs. Linda when I was a child. She would come to the house and practice music with my mother, Nan, who would serve as her pianist on several occasions. She could sing beautifully. I think her singing, "Because He Lives" made it my mom's favorite song to play. I know the hearts of the Phillps/Hardin family are broken. But just rest assure that she is singing in Heaven's Choir of angels. May the spirit take bless you all.

To the Hardin family, I send my condolences. I thank God for putting me in Evangelist Hardin's path. Her testimony was her faith walk, sharing salvation with others, her preaching, and her singing. She gave God her all. Although, I did not know her long, we developed a closeness I will always cherish. We must all remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Revelation 21:4 captures the ultimate healing of heaven: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. RIP Evangelist Hardin.
