  1. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God bless you and keep you in His loving care. Hunter, you will be in our prayers tomorrow!
    All our love,
    Bill, Betsy, Sarah and David Ferrell

  2. Zac & Carolyn, Our prayers are with you. I know your mom was very important part of your life. We are very sorry for your loss.

  3. LaMarr and Zac,
    Eldon and I send to you our sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother. It is very hard to say goodbye, even when one has lived a long and useful life. I will always remember the time when ‘Mrs. Hadley’ practically ran Charles L. Coon Jr. High while I was teaching there.
    Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

  4. Dear LaMarr, Andy, and Family, Having read of Mrs. Hadley’s death, we wanted you all to know of our love and prayers. She was extraordinarily proud of all of you, justifiably so, and certainly enjoy your music! We are blessed to have known her. We will remember you in our prayers, asking that the same peace of hope you’ve shared with others will now grow in your hearts, even as Mrs. Hadley knows it more fully. Please tell Hunter that we will remember him especially on Saturday: what a compliment and what a responsibility for a grandson-pastor.
    Love to all,
    Gray and Susan
