Dear Angela, Julie and Christine, I was deeply saddened to hear of your mom's passing. Your mom was such a nice and fun lady. When I think of school day memories, Mrs. Kerfoot is always among those. She always had a big smile and kind words. The gates of heaven now have the finest crossing guard. Thinking of you all during this time. God bless.

Dear Lee, I was so sorry to read about Ethyl's passing. I had always hoped our paths would cross again some day. Also shocked to learn that she had lost Timberlee. Deepest sympathy to you and the rest of her family.
Love, Margaret
