Ms Hardaway was a very special friend to me and my family. She was there as someone to talk to when I needed advice, spiritual guidance or just a listening ear. Ms Hardaway taught adult class of VBS at Pilgrim Progress Church just before the pandemic. She will truly be missed.

My fondest memory of Ms Hardaway was seeing the excitement in her eyes during her surprise birthday celebration at the Boys and Girl's Club. The family really gave her royal treatment. She was so happy to he surrounded by and and friends ๐Ÿงก
