So sorry to hear of your loss, thought a lot of the Hatchers, they were great people. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Tressie Ree (and JC) were such good friends of my parents (Mary Dee Carter and the late Bernice Witty). Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Tressie Ree was a very sweet lady.
Carroll and Rosemary. sorry to hear about the death of your mother. I have been out of touch and didn’t know she was still living. Hope her last years were not bad. I certainly was glad to see a picture of her again which helped me to remember the smile she nearly always had. She was a very gracious lady and I always enjoyed being in your home. She knew how to make you feel welcome.
My prayers go out to you and your family.
I was so sad to read of the passing of Mrs. Hatcher. She was a wonderful woman. Both Mrs and Mr Hatcher were very good to us back when we lived on their Lucas property, over some 25 years ago. They opened up their hearts and home to people who were total strangers and made a real difference in our lives. It was their kindness that helped us thru some very rough times. She will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
