Ms. Priss (as we called her) was one of my favorite patients and it brightened my day to see her. She loved my singing and would always compliment me and ask me to sing for her. She was a big flirt and always made me smile with her comments and humor. I will miss her so much. God bless her soul and give comfort to her family.
I will miss you greatly here on earth but am grateful to have an angel like you watching over me. Love you dearly

Mrs. Hatten was one of the best ladies that I had the pleasure to work with at Hughes Springs High School. I always loved talking to her. Heaven is blessed to have this great lady, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved the lord, and always exemplified that to all. To the Hatten family, you are in our family’s thoughts and prayers.
