Before God formed mom Hampton in the body, he knew her first. And during the time that she inhabited the body even to this moment of sorrow by family, friends and all of us whose lives she so meaningfully touched, she has never for a second left the presence of the Lord.
We love her, we miss her and we will see her again!
Love, peace & grace to the immediate family
