Please accept my sincere sympathies. May God's holy spirit or active force, equip you with the " power beyond what is normal " to go from one day to the next. ( 2 Corinthians 4 : 7 ) Remember : God can help his faithful servants to endure any and every problem they may face.

To the Hampton-Grimes Family:
I thank God for placing Mrs. Hilda Mae Hampton-Grimes in my mother's and my life over 25 years ago.
I met Mrs. Grimes at a job fair. She showed interest in me not only because of my experience and education, but also because I told her I had worked in a brake shoe factory. Mrs. Grimes said she loved hard workers. So, I told her my mother was at the job fair also and had worked at the factory-she told me to go and get my mother, too. Mrs. Grimes hired us both.
Mrs. Grimes often shared stories of growing up in NC. She loved her family...Mr. Zach, Craig, Yolanda, her sisters, etc Mrs. Grimes also loved her coworkers and her employees...and we loved her too. She touched so many livesand it showed during her retirement luncheon.
Mrs. Grimes could supervise and delegate. She knew how to get things done! Mrs. Grimes also knew who to call for help because, when being tested, she would begin singing "JESUS Keep Me Near the Cross...".
Mrs. Grimes wasn't only my supervisor, she was my friend and she was LOVED. I wish I had called her more and told her more just how truly SPECIAL she was.
May God continue to Bless you all and strengthen you during this difficult time in your life.
Much love and blessings, Freda Jackson-Nelson
