Mrs. Cynthia, we all know that Mr. Haslam is in a much better place. We only knew him for a short time but it was time well spent. We will always remember his smile and the strength and wisdom he gained about the Lord. We feel your loss but there is no sorrow on this earth that our Father in Heaven cannot heal. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all and you know we are just a phone call away. Remember to be absent in this body is to be present with the Lord. He fought a good fight and he kept the faith until the end and we believe that he has found rest. We Love you all.
