In Loving Memory of My Husband Hal

Hal truly was larger than life and his sudden departure was much to soon for any of us. Hal's life was the definition of "A Life Well-Lived." He lived every moment of every day. He deeply loved his friends and his family and it is truly comforting to know that he was so well-loved by all who knew him.

Hal was everything to me. We were building a dream together and, in his honor, I will pick up the pieces and continue what we started. I want you to know that Hal left us doing what he loved. He worked with a couple horses in the morning and then went out to shoe a horse for a client that afternoon. The Lord called him home at that time of natural causes, he needed someone with the most tender, kind, loving and biggest heart he could find and it wouldn't surprise anyone to know that was Hal. 

Hal made me know how much I was loved. He made me smile and laugh and not a day went by that we weren't aware of how blessed we were to have each other and to live God's plan together. This was such a devastating loss for me and everyone he left behind. That hole will never be filled, but I hope you will always find Hal in the memories of the times you had together and the example that he set by the humble way he led his life. His spirit is boundless and I know we will all continue to feel his presence in our lives.

This fund is dedicated in memory of Hal. My determination is to live on in the spirit of Hal in a way that would have made him happy, and proud.

Kindly,

Annette "Netty" Coker

A Life Well Lived

10-23-1970 to 5-23-2016

Upon reflection it is apparent that no man ever owns the mountain, our presence there is but borrowed time
None of us will ever know how long we get to spend at the top as we are making the climb

To go forth with no trepidation and breath deep all that is housed in that time and space
Is a life well lived and an attribute of a man no longer in search of his purpose or place

Peace of mind and contentment of soul is the ultimate quest of all humanity, when stripped to the core
Not comparing one day against the next, for only a fool would judge a breath to be better than the one before

Although we cannot own the mountain, we can control how we spend the time we've been lent
Relishing each day and night, each task and toil, each trotting stride, each blade of grass, each moment spent

A mere mortal servant, living each and every single day, not as his last but as his first, full of wonder and awe
Resplendent in laughter and love, horses and cattle, big country and sky, and the entirety of everything he ever saw

No man ever owns the mountain, nor will he know the why or the when will come the end of his stay
Truly blessed are those that

Upon reflection,
Leave the mountain without having wasted even a single day.
