To the family of Mrs. Hunter. I remember Ms. Hunter being friends with my Godmother. Mrs. Christine Pendelton.
I believe they shared the same birthdate. I remember they would celebrate their birthday by going out to dinner or lunch. She was a beautiful lady with a lovely smile and was always a sharp dresser.
I am sorry to hear of her passing.
My sincere symphathy,
Gloria Murchison
