Happy Heavenly Birthday David!

THIS MANY YEARS HAVE SWEPT RIGHT ON BY. I STILL REMEMBER YOU AS MY BABY, A ROVING CHILD RUNNING EVERYWHERE YOU WENT, A YOUNG LAD EXCELLING IN ALL SPORTS YOU TRIED. THE ONLY THING THAT YOU EVER DID TO HURT ME WAS SHUTTING ME OUT OF YOUR LIFE. I HOPE YOU'RE RESTING IN A BETTER PLACE THAN YOU DEPARTED. YOUR FATHER, ALWAYS, AND THAT CAN'T BE DENIED.

DON E. HARDISON, SR.

Happy Heavenly Birthday David. Love you and miss you. Wish you and I could boat one more time. 

ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED. I KEEP #18 IN BLACK AND GOLD IN MY MIND EVERYDAY. GOOD MEMORIES HOMEBOY. DAD

I don't know why my baby boy had to leave us so soon. I miss him so much because of how loving and caring he was. I think it's not right to take two children from a family and miss my babies every day.

My son David is still so loved and has many memories with us. He had many. many true friends and people that remember him still make mention of what a great guy he was, how he was always ready to help anyone and how friendly he was. I am so proud of my son. He stood above so many with his generosity and love.
Mommy loves you so much, my David!

As always, I miss my youngest son a lot and wish he was here with his brother and sisters...He served in the United States Navy.

Will another year has gone by without you. It still saddens me that you left us. We miss you dearly.

WOW, 52 YEARS TODAY. JUST THINK, HOMEBOY WOULD BE AN OLD MAN NOW. I WILL TURN 78 THIS SEPT AND WE COULD HAVE HAD SOME GOD YEARS STIL, BUT THE LORD NEEDED A NEW FULLBACK UP THERE ON HIS TEAM. I BELIEVE BULLARD IS THE ONLY OTHER TEAMMATE FROM THE WARRIORS UP THERE WITH YOU.

I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH THESE LAST FEW YEARS, MY HEALTH IS NOT AS GOOD AS I'D LIKE IT TO BE. I MISS YOU YET WITH A LARGE HOLE IN MY HEART FROM YOUR PASSING DAY.

DAD

MY YOUNGEST MAN, ANOTHER BIRTHDAY HAS JUMPED UP HERE TO GREET US THIS MORNING. DAD IS WISHING YOU ANOTHER GOOD BIRTHDAY WISH. LORD, WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO WISH YOU THAT IN PERSON. TILL NEXT YEAR, I'M WISHING YOU'RE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.
YOUR LOVING FATHER....DON E. HARDISON, SR.

Still missing you David. Still remember you be my unwilling co-pilot

Another year goes by without my David. It doesn't get any easier my love. We had a lovely time visiting the rest of the family in Mississippi (Debbie, Lincoln Sr & Charity,Lincoln Jr, Billy & Bailey, Alexis, Great-great Grandson Brecken, Great-Great Granddaughter Brooklyn and Don & Diane came over from Louisiana and we all had dinner together at the hotel Christmas Eve where we remembered you my love, Mom.

My Dear David: Mommy loves you so much and I miss you so much. Just like we talk every day Darling, I am so thankful that we had a special bond together and you were with me as long as you were. I thank God every day for that, but I will never stop missing our mornings and coffee together or all the things you did for me. The gazebo fell down again unfortunately with another tornado and I don't think I'll put another one up. Every day I use my closet I thank you again for making separate levels for my shirts and my shorts. There are so many memories of you here Darling, so many things that you did for me and Mommy misses you every single day.

GOOD MORNING DAVID, MY YOUNGEST SON. SAD NEWS TO BRING YOU TODAY. YOUR AUNT SANNA WOOLARD, MY SISTER, PASSED ON TO HEAVAN ON THE 22 ND OF JULY. PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR HER ARRIVAL IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, I WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIS 1ST DAY OF AUGUST, ONLY WISH YOU COULD BE HERE WITH US.

WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE AND MORE WITH EACH PASSING DAY...DAD AND JACKIE HARDISON.

GOOD MORNING HOMEBOY. FOUR YEARS NOW SINCE YOU LEFT US. MY WISH FOR YOU TODAY IS I HOPE YOU'VE CAUGHT ENOUGH FISH TO FEED ALL THOSE UP THERE WITH YOU!
YOUR DAD MISSES YOU AND LOVES YOU MORE. TELL LAURI I LOVE AND MISS HER, ALSO.......DAD

You have been in heaven now for 4 years we all hope you are at total peace ! We miss you.

Another year without you David is so difficult for Mommy. We were so close and I miss you so very much. I remind myself every day that I am thankful for the 45 years you were in my life. You had some very difficult issues and troubles to conquer my love and I wish I could have done more. It doesn't get easier without you My Darling. God bless you always, Mom.

TODAY IS ANOTHER BIRTDAY WE ARE WITHOUT YOU, SON. WE ALL HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD DAYS WITH YOU, WHICH WE ALL ARE THANKFUL FOR THEM. THE GOOD LORD BLESSED YOU WITH A LOT OF TALENT, NOT ONLY ATHLETICLY, BUT YOUR ENJOYMENT OF MUSIC. THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOU SINGING "THE DEVIL CAME DOWN TO GEORGIA" I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOU NEW EVERY WORD TO THAT SONG. I NEVER DID SEE YOU AND YOUR "AIR BAND" PERFORM. BUT, FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD BY BUTCH ENOCH AND LESTER DENLY, YOU BOYS PUT ON A GREAT SHOW. IT WAS ABOUT THAT TIME YOU STARTED WEARING THE HANDKERCHIEF ON YOU LEVIS` THIGH. I FIGURED IT OUT AFTER SOME TIME. YOU WERE A JOY TO ME AND YOUR BROTHER AND SISTERS. WE ALL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. I PRAY THAT YOU DID FIND THE LORD. I LOVE YOU AND WILL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

DAD

On August 1st, 1967, the doctor handed me my second baby boy, and I said, "That's my David!" He was with us for 45 years and I am so thankful for that. He is now in God's safe hands with his sister Lauri and his Granddad, so I know they are safe and loved. Mom misses you every day David!

Three years now my Angel. It doesn't get any easier as I miss your morning coffees together and seeing you come in the day and say, "Is that my David" and you answering, "Yes it is Mom," but I know you are with your sister and Granddad and uncles and aunts. There is no more pain in your life and I am glad of that, but I miss you so very much my love!

DAVID, I FEEL LIKE TELLING YOU THAT I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH SINCE YOU LEFT US. MY WIFE JACKIE, HAS SEEN MOST OF THE PHOTOS I HAVE OF YOU AND SAYS SHE WOULD LOVED TO HAVE KNOWN YOU. I HOPE YOUR LIFE'S DREAMS HAVE BEEN MET AND YOUR SOUL IS COMFORTABLE! DAD

48 years ago today, my doctor handed you to me and I said, "That's my David," and you were always "My David." I miss you so much my Darling!

THANKS GO OUT TO DANA FOR HER TRIBUTE. THANKS SO MUCH, DANA.

TWO YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE YOU LEFT US. THEY ARE TERRIBLE YEARS TO HAVE BEHIND ME. MY PRAYER FOR YOU AND LAURI IS THAT BOTH OF YOU HAVE FOUND PEACE. I MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH AND PRAY FOR YOU NIGHTLY THAT YOUR PEACE IS A LASTING ONE. WE, THAT YOU'VE LEFT BEHIND, TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BOTH TO LEAVE US SO EARLY IN LIFE. I LOVE YOU, DAD....

It's still difficult being without you David because we were so close. I hope that you and Lauri and Granddad are having good times together. The book, photo and US flag from your funeral all have places of honor. My beautiful babies David and Lauri. You two were also very close and will support each other. Love always, your Mom

I just read about sweet David's passing. I was a part of the Hardison family over 30 years ago, but still have many great memories. David was such a great part of this family. I was so sad to hear of his passing. This family has been through so many losses and my heart goes out to them. Much love to all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all: Mr. Don, Ms. Penny and of course Don.

SON, IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN THE TWO YEARS THAT HAS PAST SINCE OUR LORD REACHED DOWN AND TOOK OUR BABY SON TO BE WITH HIM. I HAVE VERY GOOD MEMORIES OF YOU HERE WITH US. ONE OF MY PROUDEST TIMES IS THE SUMMER WE ALL STAYED IN YAZOO CITY, MS, YOU WERE PRACTICING FOR THE SOUTH MS. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ALL STARS IN THE MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS IN CLINTON, MS AND AND DRIVING BACK TO YAZOO CITY TO PLAY IN THE STATE BABE RUTH BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS. I REALLY ENJOYED THAT WEEK! LOVE AND MISS YOU YET, AND WILL SEE YOU AGAIN IN ANOTHER LIFE. YOUR FATHER, DON SR.

Remembering David on his birthday. Love Jim

Forty-seven years ago when the doctor showed me my beautiful son, I said, "That's my David!" We had forty-five years with him and I thank God for that. My David is now in a safe place with his sister Lauri and his Granddad.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU, MY SON DAVID. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE YOU LEFT US AND I DO MISS YOU A LOT. TODAY I WAS THINKING ABOUT FATHERS DAY, ONE THAT YOU NEVER LIVED TO SEE AS A FATHER, TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I JUST NEED TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU MADE MY LIFE SO FULL ALONG WITH YOUR BROTHER AND SISTERS.

WE MISS YOU,

DAD

ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR DEATH ONE YEAR AGO I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR FATHER MISSES YOU AND I HAVE A LITTLE FAVOR TO ASK OF YOU. PLEASE HAVE THE BIG GUY UP THERE TO HELP ME SLEEP. I SPEND A LOT OF NIGHTS THINKING ABOUT YOU AND JUST CAN'T SLEEP. I LOVE YOU SON AND HOPE THAT ALL YOUR PROBLEMS HAVE GONE AWAY. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.

DAD

My Darling Baby Boy David, Mommy misses you so much. I miss our morning coffee together, seeing you come through the door and responding when I say, "Is that my David?" I have done my best to be strong through all this David because I know that you would want that but it's been extremely difficult. I hope you are enjoying being with your sister Lauri and Granddad. Love always, Your Mom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MY YOUNGEST SON. IT HAS BEEN QUITE SOME TIME SINCE 1 AUG 1967. I'll ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AS MY LITTLE BOY WHO WOULD RATHER RUN THAN WALK, ANYTIME OR ANYWHERE. THANKS FOR GIVING ME SUCH A WONDERFUL LIFE.

DAD

My beautiful son, born 46 years ago in a USAF hospital,Tyndall AFB, Florida. The doctor said. "It's a boy!" & I said, "That's my David!" Such a beautiful boy with blond hair and perfect little body. We were very close throughout his life. David had back surgery after a bad accident while working for Raytheon Corp and mid-Nov 2012, terminal cancer, to join his sister Lauri (1983) in Heaven.

David was my copilot on few flights, he will be deeply missed by all
of us. He had a kind heart and would give you the shirt off his back.
We will miss the wonderful smile!

Ms. Penny...I'm so sorry to hear about David....I just spoke with him and I'm going to drive down to see him over the holidays...My prayers are with you and the family...

I am so thankful for this year. I watch you sleep and am thankful for every breath you take. For a moment I scold myself for silly tiffs, unneeded rifts and wasted time. Then I remember you telling me we were meant to be together and thankful for what you brought into my life, making changes, making me stronger and giving me the most precious of gifts. “The love of my life.” Amy Corey.

RIP David, I played football with you, went off to join the Navy with you. It was a honor to know you. My condolences to your family.

My baby brother was one of my favorite people. He was brilliant, strong, charismatic, charming and so much fun to be with. He could light up any room upon entering with his booming voice and winning smile. I will miss him so much and always remember the wonderful times we had. I am glad that he knew how much I loved him because I know how much he loved me.

David was my baby brother. When he was little he called me mommy until he was about 3 yrs old. I took care of him when mom had to work and even changed his diapers. We were very close all through the years and lived together in our adult years to help each other with living expenses. We had a lot of good times. He was always a joy to be around. I will miss him tremendously. Debbie Hardison

Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. May the LORD be with you and bring you peace.

With much love to you and sorrow for your loss.  David was a dear, dear man, with such an infectious smile. I well remember his willingness to help
at the Habitat garage sale some years ago.   I will visit soon.

David was my little brother for most of my life. He quickly became a man of his own both in athletics and in life. Homeboy Hardison dazzled the crowds at Warrior stadium. But what he didn't know was how much of a star he was to me. I will always remember my tag along little brother, but I'll also remember the determined athlete he was.

David was a great friend who showed love and carring for everyone he
came in contact with and had a very magnetic personality which drew
everyone close to him. We will miss you see you later

Dear Penny & Jim We only met David for a short time in 2003 but he made a great impression on us. We so enjoyed staying up with him and Sharon talking and laughing beside the pool and you both calling out to us to quiet, how we laughed. David catching fish and bringing them home for dinner. God bless you David we hope you are at peace now after all the pain. love Jeanette & Peter
