Jim (or if we can revert to Patterson Street days, you and I were both known as "Jimmy") I'm so sorry to learn of your mother's death, and I pray God's blessings and comfort for you. I relish the memories of time spent at your house "way back when". Jim "Jimmy" Adkins

My grand-parents (Lawsons) were good friends and neighbors of Mrs. Hankins. I grew up knowing her and I always thought she was a very sweet, kind person. Mrs. Hankins always went out of her way to help anyone in need and she was also 'always' very considerate of other people's feelings. She never had a harsh word to say about anybody and she was always a good influence on everyone around her.... May the Lord comfort your heart during this difficult time.
