Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Hattie was a wonderful neighbor. She always had a chocolate chip cookie ready for the boys. We really missed her when she moved to the Charleston House. She had lots of good stories to tell. We are very thankfull for the piano she gave us. Our youngest son is still taking lessons and practicing on it. God bless.
