Remembering Hugh Mathis

Hugh Mathis RIP
Everybody at Hell in a Handbag is mourning the loss of Handbag Board Member Hugh Mathis who passed away within the past few days. Hugh was a Board Member from the inception of Hell in a Handbag Productions and a strong Handbag supporter. We were introduced to Hugh when many of us us were with Sweetback Productions through his friend Steve Hickson, former Handbag ensemble member and co-founder of HIAH Productions. Hugh helped Hell in a Handbag tremendously with his fundraising knowledge and was a genuinely kind person. He will be missed. Hugh was 41. More details will be shared as we know them.
