You were so very brave and fought so hard and now you are at peace and free from all pain. Words cannot express how much we all love you and miss you. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, best friend and the most important influence in my life.
Your loving daughter, Kay
It was very sad to lose our beloved Aunt Hattie so soon after we lost our own Mom, but it comforts me to know that they are together looking down on all of us. Hattie was always the life of the party and I have so many fond memories of her that I will cherish forever.

Our sweet Hattie will be missed. She was loved by everyone that new her. I think of her every
time I see one of her beloved antiques that we bought at her many sales or that she gave to us because she new we loved it so and would give it a good home.
She really was the life of the party! We love you Hattie!
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have such wonderful memories of Mrs B. From the days she would babysit me or riding around in the back seat of the vw(?) while she drove my mom from store to store to store. When she would come visit me at work with my mom and have coffee for 2 hours in a booth at a restaurant to actually going to a bar and having a drink together and gossiping like a grown up. I always admired her – the sense of humor that always made you laugh, her great style of fashion and most of all her kindness. She was always a great friend to my Mom and when I had the good fortune of finding a few great friends over the years, I always thought….I have found my Mrs B.
