To Edward, Victor & Tony: My sympathy go out to you all at your loss. I always loved Mr. Hawkins & will certainly miss his smile because he always treated me as his daughter-in-law still & I will always be grateful to him for staying in Tony's & Ivy's lives. I know he made a difference to them because he was such a special man with a big heart as a grandpa & great-grandpa to my kids & grands. I will miss him.
