Susan's Obituary

Hardman, Nancy Susan
age 53, went home to be with the Lord after a courageous battle with cancer Thursday, January 7, 2010. She was preceded in death by her father Dale E. Hardman and is survived by her mother M. Edna Hardman, brothers Larry and Gary, sisters-in law Judy and Debbie, nieces and nephews Ben and Sarah, David and Joel and Leah and Jason Brunie. She was a member of Salem Church of God and was a missionary for 24 years with the Mission Board of the Church of God in Anderson, Indiana. Susan was a great adventurer traveling to 47 countries in her life. Her award winning photography of her travels and of the world is remarkable and has been used in multiple books. As a missionary in China, she not only faithfully spread the good news of the gospel but she taught English classes to people of all ages. Susan was deeply loved by people from all over the world and the family is so grateful for the outpouring of love over the past few months. Her sense of adventure, warm humor, and love for all people positively influenced thousands of people. Her favorite passage of scripture was Job 26:14 “And these are but the outer fringe of his works how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?” We praise God for the life of our dear friend, for the hope we have in Jesus Christ and that he allowed us for so many years to hear his whisper through her life! The family will receive friends on Monday January 11th from 10:00am to 12:00 noon with a service immediately following at Salem Church of God with Pastor Robert Moss officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Children of Promise, the Louisville Project for Ben Hardman, or Campus Crusade for Joel Hardman. Arrangements entrusted to Newcomer Funeral Home.

Our precious Susan yesterday spent time with us telling us all goodbye. She is ready to go on to heaven and to see our Lord. The nurse came today and she is resting comfortably and we are doing everything to walk her this final way. The Lord is in control, as he has always been throughout Susan's life. She is ready for her final journey.

Susan is very weak. Sleeping most of the time. We have had precious moments, I will remember the rest of my life. The stories and pictures people have shared have brought smiles and tears to us. Thank you for showing your love. We pray with her several times a day and have a family prayer with her each evening before she settles down for the night. The Lord is with us.

Friday Jan 1

A new year came in while we sat with Susan. We are glad that we now have hospital bed in the house and hospice is coming in to help. Susan's pain, dizziness, and nausea are under control which we are so thankful for. Susan sleeps most of the day and is in and out of consciousness. She has told us she is ready to go to be with the Lord but is still praying for healing. We appreciate all of your prayers. We know how much each of you love Susan. We love her very much and are doing everything possible for her. We are by her side all the time.She is surrounded by family and we have had some very precious times together during this past week or two. We are no longer having visitors, for she is sleeping and just too weak and tired. She would rather you remember her the way she was and not the way she is now. I do read messages to her and know she understands them at times. Thank you all again.
