To All the Family of Donald Hatchard Sr.
Tears came to my eyes when I heard the sad news of your fathers passing. What I remember most about your dad was how kind and funny he was. He always welcomed me into your home with open arms, and always treated me like one of his own. growing up I feel like I spent just as much time at your house as I did my own. I thank you for all the great memories of have of you. All the times you used to pick on me, all in fun, and all the great advise. I know that heaven has a new angel to look down and keep his family safe. I will miss you. If you see my mom and dad tell them I miss them and someday I will see you all again soon. I am sorry that I will not be able to be there to celebrate his time on earth, but I will be there in spirit. If you need anything do not hesitate to call. RIP MR H. Prayers to the whole family. I love you All Tracy Pulling
