We were so sorry to hear of Brother Hartwell’s passing. My girls fondly think of Brother Hartwell. He was always happy to see our girls and give them treats, he made their visits to the Kingdom Hall fun and enjoyable! He will be deeply missed!
We will surely miss Lee,… but just for a little while. His sleep will be only temporary, then he’ll awaken to a New World full of life. Lee was an awesome brother, and I owe him a debt of gratitude since he and one other were the ONLY ones that came to help me in my time of crisis. He was always ready to lend a hand or to help or just to sit and really listen to you and bring you comfort. He was truly a good friend, “A brother born for a time of distress”. Always “showing”, TRUE Love for everyone! A real Gem of a human, friend, and brother.
