I am saddened to hear the loss of such a good person. We didn’t work together for long but he always had a smile on his face and I enjoyed our quick chats throughout the day. He was always talking about his family. Please know y’all are in my thoughts.

Nat, Erin & Robert, we are so sorry and we have all lost a great friend! We love you guys and will be there for you from now on! Love, Chuck and Dawn
And in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take, Beatles. Chip had a lot of love and everyone loves him. I will miss you my sweet cousin, what a great angel you are now I am sure. I am praying for my Aunt Nita, Uncle Greg, and cousins, Emily and Christopher and Bobby Hardy along with the whole family. I wish I could have come, but always remember I have you all in my hearts and the people who knew me, knew Chip was special to me along with his brother and sister. I changed his diapers and saw him get married. I love that young man and can’t believe the world has lost such a beautiful soul but the Lord has gained a wonderful angel. To his wife, and children, I know he was a great husband and father and gave his family the Faith in God to make it through. We are all only passing through, Chip is HOME. Can’t wait to see that smile again when I get home. Give all the family we have lost and were there to greet you, big hugs for all of us. Love you Chip.

With a mother like Nita, Chip had to be an exceptional man. We heard wonderful things about him from Emily as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Natalie, Erin & Robert-
We both enjoyed our time working with Chip. He was always so positive & smiling. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
Chip you’re the best and you will be truly missed. Thank you for everything you did for us. My condolences go out to the Hardy family. God bless
Natalie, Erin and Robert,
My deepest sympathies for the loss of Chip. You are in my prayers daily and God is taking care of all of you already! Love always! Cindy Williams
Natalie, you are in my prayers, as are your children. You and Chip were a joy to watch when you were beginning your life together all those years ago at Highlands.
I’m not wise, but I am old. My one piece of advise is to just take one day at a time, and for a while, don’t look too far down the road. God will help you do that when things are not so raw.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll be praying for you for a long time.
Natalie, our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time.
When Tony & I moved to the neighborhood, you and Chip were the first to extend us a heartfelt neighborly greeting and chat. Y’all gave us valuable information about our new neighborhood and the area. After that conversation, we realized that you and Chip were going to be great neighbors. We also realized that you all were an active family that spent quality time with each other and the kids. So I know that Chip is sorely missed.
We didn’t get to know Chip for long but please know that during that short time, he enhanced our lives.
I am thankful that God allowed Chip to be a part of your life and that he left you with many memories to cherish. I pray that God grants you & your family peace & strength as you go through these trying times.
Love your neighbor,
Jennifer
