Lovely lady. I had the privilege of growing up two houses away from her family. She will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and loved ones. Rest now my lady your work here is done.
Our deepest condolences to you for the passing of Mrs. Hatcher. May God be with you in the days ahead.
My sympathy to the Hatcher family. Growing up in Front Royal, she taught me and many other boys and girls how to swim. Her late brother Sam Winsboro was my uncle as he was married to my Mom’s sister Gloria. I remember everyone referring to Mrs. Hatcher by her nickname, “Toodles”. May she rest in peace in the arms of Jesus.
My sincere condolences to Wendell and family. “Toodles” as she was known to her late sister Louise and family will always be remembered at the wonderful gettogethers in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Faith, Love and Hope…..John Layton, Jacksonville,FL

Faith Love and Hope
Wendell and family, I send my sincere sympathy in the loss of our sweet Adele. She was such a kind, caring dear friend and will be missed by so many. God’s love and His promise are our greatest comfort.
Adele was a wonderful woman, and I want to express my sympathy, affection, and healing prayers to her entire family, in particular to the “kids” I had in school, Tanya and Steve. Were it not for a prior commitment, I would be with you in person today.
We love our Aunt Toodles and always have. But for health issues, we would be there. I am glad I got to talk to her on that last day and tell her I love her. I am so sorry for the loss the family is feeling. We will miss her.
