We extend our deepest condolences to Joe, Liz & family, Ron & family and Tracy. Hammie will be missed very much but we have comfort in knowing that she is with the rest of the family that are no longer with us. The world will seem a little smaller knowing that she is no longer with us. She left a little of herself with each and everyone of us that had the absolute pleasure of knowing her and sharing our lives with us. Those memories will be treasured and though of always & forever.
