Phyllis Hardy

Phyllis had a turbulent family life growing up. Because of this she never wanted to have children because she thought she would be a bad mother. Phyllis had an opportunity for a full 4-year scholarship to college out of High School, but her parents would not sign the papers to disclose their financial situation. She went to work for two years to get money for college & moved out of her parent’s house. Phyllis worked as an Assistant Nursing Home Administrator, an Assistant Medical Clinic Administrator, and then went to Ft Hood, Tx and became the Non-Appropriated Civilian Personnel Director. After 7-8 years at Ft Hood, she then decided to go to Law School in Houston. After a three-year long-distance relationship with her husband, Dr. David Hardy, she graduated Law School & came back to Temple, Tx and practiced Family Law for 7-8 years. She then closed down her practice & started substitute teaching and obtained her teaching certificate.

Phyllis’s life was filled with purpose and because of her, David became a much better person. She believed in giving of herself 100%.

These are the rules of life I learned living with Phyllis:

1. Give without strings. He gave us grace with no strings attached

2. Accept without measure. He will accept us with all of our sins as long as we accept Him.

3. Love your neighbor as yourself. (Due unto yourself, as you would do to your neighbor). And it is a very small world, and we are all neighbors
