Lois, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was such a kind and gentle soul. She was one of my favorite in the old neighborhood.
I know you have many wonderful memories to lift your spirit.
My deepest sympathy to the Hatch family. I have known mrs. Hatch for several years. She did the estate sale for a cousin in Seguin which I recommended her for, and I have purchased from her sales. What I remember about Mrs Hatch was her professionalism and kindness. I had great respect for her. She will be missed she occupied a special niche in San Antonio.
God bless

My prayers and thoughts are with Sis. Hatch’s family and friends. Her love and encouraging words will always be with me. I looked forward to walking her to her car on Sunday morning after service. Just to talk with her. I always walked away with some pearls of wisdom and a smile.. She loved her family and friends by showing her love in action. I recall when her sister, Willie Mae Meeks came to San Antonio and stayed with her. How happy she was to have Willie Mae with her.. Seeing the little sister caring for her big sister was a blessing. Willie Mae passed 3 January 2019. Now each are in the care of their Lord and Savior…..Rest in peace, Sis. Hatch job well done. .

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ms Lula B. Hatch. I was a fortunate one who got to work with Lula at Kelly AFB in the Mission Critical Computer Resources Branch of the Engineering Division, Materiel Management ar Kelly AF Base. She was all heart and soul, very kind, very sentimental, very strong in her Christian values. She was very wise and had a great sense of humor. One day at work the radio was on and I asked her what her most favorite song was of all-time
And she said
