I grew up with Mrs. Hoover as my next door neighbor. I went to her Good News Club. She was a great lady and neighbor. She even paid for piano lessons for my sister and I. I have not seen her for many a year but I will always remember her and her bright sunny smile. God Bless your family at this great loss.
