Editor, the Advocate:

Concerning Rings N Things closing after thirty years, anyone who has shopped at Rings N Things knows the quality and class that the store and Mrs. Hiller have brought to Victoria. What they may not know is how Mrs. Hiller has also been a benefactor for local charities.

Each year, Mrs. Hiller donates beautiful items to our yearly fundraiser for Warrior's Weekend. She always is so kind when I go in to see her and prepares not just a small item but a beautiful set out of her finest lines for us. She cares about the military and wants to do something special for them. I am sure others have not been turned away when they go to her for good causes as well.

I will miss the store, but more than that I will miss the lovely lady who makes me smile and has such a generous heart.
