Mr. Haley was such a special, sweet man and was a true man of God. He will be missed dearly. Rick first met Mr. & Mrs. Haley while working at Wallace & Owen’s grocery store (now Harps). Sandie met them there as well. They always had a smile on their faces and were such an inspiration to us. We are assured that Mr. Haley is now in the arms of our Lord and Savior. Mrs. Haley and the family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Rick & Sandie Leader

Carson was perhaps the happiest person I have ever known. I think the reason was that he was focused on his savior, and always looked forward to today, the day when his reward would come. Never to be forgotten by his family and never to be forgotten by myself, Carson will be remembered for his willingness to share his faith and positive attitude with anyone he knew. He was an example of what we all should try to be. Praise to you my friend!
