When Everyone was In Their Place – A tribute to Hardway Women

Written by Shari Johnson, Publisher.

Violet Hardway, Delta Hardway, Becky Hardway

They grew up in a different era, when a woman “knew” her place

When husbands worked, and children played and families still said grace.

A woman’s place, might be at work, or it might be a home

But for certain they were central to everything going on.

Our Father’s role was to protect, our Momma’s role to care

And together they made a family and we were privileged to be there.

Times were not as perfect as we like to reminisce

But because everybody filled their place, nobody was ever missed.

. I’m glad I grew up in a time when life was simple and sweet.

And I’m glad when they pass from our arms, their Savior they do meet.

Because He taught them who they were, and how to provide and care

When everyone was in their place, Because the Lord was in His there

My Aunt Becky Hardway passed into the arms of Jesus yesterday. I’m grateful that God placed me with the people He did. Please pray for her sons, Philip “Duke” Hardway and Wayne “Pokey” Hardway. Two of the best cousins ever.
