To the family of Eunice: Your mother was a classmate of mine at Blackburn College and we lived across the dorm hall from one another. I also knew your father. As I remember, your mother's nickname was "Honey" perhaps because of her beautiful honey-colored hair, although the name Honey Homm just seemed to go together. I lived in Belleville from 1955 until 1995 and was very active in the Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, but was unaware that your mother was working there.
Please accept my condolences, and please know that I have fond memories of those early years we spent at Blackburn College. Joy Montgomery Kamper.
