I am so saddened for your loss. Mrs. Hatch was a lovely woman! Correctly stated always dressed to the hilt and with lipstick! I did alterations for her for a few years, until I stopped due to taking some exams for work. I have fond memories of my visits with her. I wish you all peace in your hearts and beautiful memories to carry you forward. Rest in Peace Mrs. Hatch. Terry Warrington
