thank Greg Fitzpatrick, Frank Tyner
and other friends too numerous to
list, that stopped by and checked on
him. He valued each of you and you
were very much appreciated and

celebrate his life rather than mourn.
He is in a healed body today spend
ing time with his brother, John,
hunting and running in the fields
like they did as boys, and sitting
down to dinner with his daddy and
mama.
To all his hunting friends, he
wants you to know he has the per
fect deer stand and spot to hunt, asks
that you think of him this season,
and that he will be there to salute
you as you bring the big one home.
The family would like to thank
Dr. Harvey Ouzts and Staff at
Oconee Heart and Vascular for their
exceptional care and devotion to
Ardell, along with Saint Mary’s
