My name is Stasha Hampton, and I am not sure if I even have the right person. If not, I apologize greatly for any inconvenience. I believe that Mrs. Howell was one of the ladies that I helped rescue during the flood. I live in section IV of the River Plantation neighborhood in Bellevue, TN. I am very sorry for your loss and I would have loved to have visited with Mrs. Howell before she passed away. The memories of that day will be etched in my mind forever. If any of the family members would like to contact me, my email is [email protected]. Again, I am very sorry for your loss.
With Condolences,
Stasha Hampton
