I have fond memories of Mrs. Hicks. Our families were friends and neighbors. Most of all we shared a friend in Jesus. Growing up I spent wonderful times with Darlene, her daughter. Their home was warm and inviting. Mrs Hicks was a part of my Dads carpool to work at NNShipyard for years. The last time I spoke to Mrs. Hicks was at LBC and she was so proud of her kids. She smiled and just beamed as she updated me on their lives.
My deepest condolences to her family. May God give you peace.
