My thoughts, prayers and love to the Hatcher family in your time of grief. May God's Presence and comfort be with you. May His promises from His Word be real and alive and fill your hearts with love,hope, faith, and assurance of everlasting life. Your Mother was the epitome of a Southern lady and a Christ filled Christian. The fruits of the Spirit were evidenced in her life. She lived to glorify God - a life well lived.
My deepest sympathy and love, Connie Skalak
