My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Mable Hunter. Mable worked with my wife and I at the same location for many years, and during that time we all became the best of friends. She remained in regular phone contact with my wife after we moved to another city following Katrina, and the relationship continued until my wife's passing in 2016. Both were great Saints fans and thoroughly enjoyed preparing and playing the football pool each football season. She was a kind and well liked person who will be greatly missed by many. Rest in peace my friend and God bless
