I don't know if I mentioned it before but Hoda is the one who led me to
Christ. I accepted Christ at First Baptist Church and Hoda went down front.
We dated for a while while we were in School. Hoda was the sweetest person you could ever know. I will always remember her fondly.

The best mother in law on the planet! Loved me unconditionally. Every single time I was in her presence for 19 years she made me feel like I was the most amazing person in the world. Such a gift of encouragement. Saw the best in everyone.

I am Mercer Riche, a classmate of Hoda's at Baker High School. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I'll always remember how we confused the teachers with both having the name "Mercer"!! I will definitely keep all of you in my heart and prayers. May God Bless you all during this difficult time.
