My family and I would like to thank you and the rest of the Class of 1961 for
your words of prayer and support for my father, Mony Harden, during his
illness. My mom Donna and I read these messages to him in the hospital, and he
gave us positive reactions when we did that.
Unfortunately, I am sad to
report that he lost his fight late Saturday night and joined Long Gray Line in
ghostly assemblage. His family was at his bedside, and while we grieve, we know
he is at peace now.
I must apologize for giving an incorrect email
address for my mom, Donna Harden, in my earlier request for prayers. Her email
address is doodah388@sbcglobal.net . I improperly said it was .com
before.
His service will be held at 10:00 AM Central Time on Monday,
March 27th, at the Shannon Funeral Chapel at 6001 Rufe Snow Drive, Fort Worth,
TX, 76148. Inurnment will follow at noon at the Dallas Fort Worth National
Cemetery. While flowers are welcome, anyone interested in expressing their
condolences and support can make a contribution in Dad's name to the Class of
1961 class fund.
