I have great childhood memories of Mrs Hemple and the whole family who lived only a couple houses away. She was a beautiful lady inside and out.
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Hemple. She and her husband were both wonderful people and we surely miss them both. We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the entire family.
