Deepest condolences to Debbie on the loss of your father and to cousins Benda, (Velma) Carolyn, and Edwin on the loss of your brother. As descendants of the Amos and Emma branch of the Morehart family continue to dwindle, those of us that remain can take pride in knowing that the Morehart name will always be remembered as significant in the history of Mabelvale.
May you all be comforted by the promise of a "family reunion" with those loved ones that have gone before us!
Love and Blessings . . .
Janis Morehart Morrow
Velma, Benda and Edwin

It's has been a great pleasure knowing you. I can truly say I'm proud to call you my grandfather. Our talks about the Hogs, fishing and hunting I'm gonna miss. I never thought that in a million years I'd have the chance to sit down with you and talk about life. Your stories of you growing up. Man you could've wrote a book. That time you say me on the edge of your bed and showed me your medals and the stories behind them. I'll cherish that moment for the rest of my life. We're gonna miss you Poppy. We love you. Gone but NEVER forgotten. Rest easy grandfather. God sure gained a TRUE hero.
