Mr. Hunt, Pam, and Hunt family,
It is heartbreaking to think that my former co-worker, best friend anyone could ever have, and one of the sweetest people I know is no longer here. I have such wonderful memories of Ms. Jean and will always smile when I think of her. She was always there for me and my family.
The Hunt family was blessed with a wonderful Mom and wife. She will be greatly missed. May God bless each of you in the days ahead.
