Dear Ed, Bernard, Nikki & Family,
I was sorry to hear about your mother and grandmother passing. I am out of town, but wanted to express my condolences. I know that your mother and grandmother lived a full life and gave so much to this community. I often hear of the great efforts to assure opportunity for all. Through each of you, I see that stamp for excellence and desire to have others better for knowing each of you. Take care as you celebrate her life. I am praying for your peace....

Dearest Carmela ("Mel"),

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the loss of your mother. What a gracious and inspiring lady! I will always remember her words of wisdom and how she encouraged us to strive for the best. She was an example we could look to with pride.

I appreciate her influence in the shaping of our community and personally, in the development of a life-long friendship.

Be encouraged, my friend. May you find comfort...

Dear Carmela:

You and your family have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your precious Mom. I had (have)such respect for your parents, especially Mrs. Hamm. What a grand lady! What a tremendous legacy she leaves behind. The civil rights work that she did on our behalf will never be forgotten and is most certainly appreciated.

God Bless and keep you all. You're in my prayers.

The Family of Mrs. Dorothy B. Hamm.
May all the wonderful memories
of your dear loved sustain you during these hours. I have fond memories of Mrs. Hamm from my childhood and from Mt. Salvation Baptist Church Arlington, Va. Trust in GOD for his love is enternal! Respectfully,

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
