Thanks “Bull” for being my “Hardee’s friend for the last 10 years. You will be missed for sure. RIP friend Ben Thompson
Love you more than you’all ever know daddy. I will make sure Heather remembers her pop paw no matter what. She loved her pop paw so much. Life will never be the same without you. There will forever be a hole in my heart for you. RIP daddy. Thank you for always taking care of our family.
I love you daddy.
We will miss you. From the “guys” at Hardees
To the Dalton family. Our family wanted to express their condolences in this your time of sorrow. We found this verse encouraging during our time of loss. “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
At John 5:28,29 Jesus spoke about the hope of the resurrection. You are in our thoughts as well.

I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for all.
