Again so sorry for loss. We are so sorry we were not at the viewing, somehow it didn't show up on my Facebook. I know Earl has very fond memories of your mom as did I. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers.

So sorry to hear about Hillie. She was a friendly woman who was always working hard for Hackettstown . While I was a cheerleading coach, she helped us with a smile, no matter how busy. She took pride in her work, as she took care of everyone else. She will be remembered.

We’ll miss you Hillie! Give Mike a big hug from all of us! See if Mrs. Smith remembers those noisy upstairs kids and Tell Jim the yard at 281 never looked the same. Love you!
