I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Your commitment to her over the last years of her life were the epitome of love. Though I never met her, I know that she was lucky to have you. I hope that the coming holiday season will bring comfort, joy and memories of the many happy times you shared. I’m thinking of you, Kara and Jamie.

By any chance did your mother teach at St. Clair Elementary School in Sanford in the early 60’s? If so, she was my 3rd grade teacher…and my favorite!
I am so sorry for your loss.

I have missed your mother so much at the beauty shop and lots of people have ask me about her. I kind of kept up on thing through Jill and Donna. Ray also would let me know how things were. I know it has been a tough job taking care of her but you will never regret it. I know what you’ve been through and it is not easy. I’ll be thinking of you, Ruth Thomas

She was always smiling and such a loving person. I know she will be missed by many. She was a very inspiring lady and I loved her for being so sweet to me and my mother! My thoughts are with you.
