The Hendricks family were such an important part of my childhood in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Mrs. Hendricks was an amazing person, with so much spirit and heart to share. She is greatly missed and I want her family to know I am thinking of them.

Dottie, Your Mother was so sweet and I Wish I could have known her better. Some of the stories you told me were funny and sweet. I bet she could be mischevious at times. You have the memories to cherish until y'all see each other again. Know that I am just a few minutes away and always ready to lend a hand.

Jamie and Wendy please know the heartache and grief will fade a little over time but the wonderful memories never will. I remember meeting your Mom the first time with her sweet smile and sparkle in her eye. Her wit and humor always keeping us in stitches. My prayers are with you and your family. Know I love you and I am just a phone call away.❤
