Mr Hardy and Ms Greta have always steadfastly served the Lord in their quiet and humble manner. Mr Hardy has shed this earthly body and I believe he is in the arms of Jesus, no more struggles, no more pain. Prayers for Ms Greta and all of the Mitchell family.

In a sermon several years ago, Brother Johnathan House encouraged Liberty Church of Christ members to make a list of people who had influenced our Christian walks and to thank them for that influence. On my list were precious Hardy and Greta Mitchell. I took Johnathan's advice and told Brother Hardy and Sister Greta what a blessing they had been to me, but I'd like to repeat that thanksgiving here today. This sweet couple modeled for me what it looks like to adore one another and work alongside one another. They were behind the scenes servants in the most humble way, visiting so many in hospitals and working in benevolence, quietly serving to please the Lord and show His love to others. Randall and I are praying for peace for you, Greta, and your entire family. You are precious to us.
