This obit. needs to be amended to include Phillip's only living child. Kirk Parker of Homer, Ga will miss his father greatly.

I agree. Kirk should be listed, especially if he is the only living offspring. I can only imagine why Kirk is not included on the list. This was his FATHER. It appears that the person responsible for creating the list of survivors has some real big issues and is only truly hurting herself.

I understand that all the family and friends of Mr. Hardman are grieving, but it seems to me that to list step children as Mr. Hardman's own children and to leave out his only living blood son Kirk Parker is a direct slap in the face and was meant to be purposefully hurtful. Unfortunately, I guess it goes to show spite cannot be laid to rest for a brief period of time for grieving and healing to occur.
