My family and I enjoyed visiting with Klyce and Billie on several occasions. We enjoyed Kylce's insights and help in getting to know the Hampton family through her perspective and in particular about our relative, her younger brother, J.H. She was helpful, inspiring and extremely gracious to us. Steve & Terry Shaw and children Bartlett, Eden and J.
