Amy and Hardy Nickerson commissioned Friendly Friendship Baptist Church to express Hardy’s childhood desire to become a player in the National Football League. Zoom in to see how Ernie Barnes depicts Hardy in the second row pew dressed in football jersey #50. Despite the lively church service, Hardy and his cousin are focused on a football magazine. The title of the Sunday sermon, noted in the back of the church, is “Purpose.” Hardy successfully played for four @nfl teams during his sixteen-year career.
