Jerome was a great guy a great uncle even though he wasn’t my uncle he still treated me like his niece he was so quiet but had the biggest smile on his face! Iknow God doesn’t make any mistakes get your rest
There is a lot I could say about Jerome Hardy but the main thing I will say is, that he loved God, His Children, his Family, and his friend. He would do whatever he could to help and lift people up. This here is a hard pill to swallow but I know God doesn't make any mistakes. He was not only my son's father, he was truly my friend. Jerome we are gonna miss you but God needed you. To be absent from the body is to be present with him, Sleep on and take your rest. No more pain and suffering. You now have a new body and I know you are singing and shouting with the choir. Your son will be well taken care of. With Love, Gigi Harris
