  • To Mrs. Hunt’s daughter and family,
    I worked with your Mother back in 1972 at Connoly, Bove. I was a young inexperienced 19 year old and your Mother took me by the hand and guided me in the workings of a law firm. She was my biggest supporter and would always put in a good word for me to my superiors. I have been working in the legal field ever since. I have fond memories of your Mother. She would always light up when she mentioned your name. I am sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a parent no matter what age we are. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
