Miss Fannie was a very special lady. Over the last two years, I did not get to care for her as much. However, over the years I had the pleasure of caring for her and looking forward to each encounter. I always made my work easy. She will be missed.

Barbara, Brian, and Family
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your family at this sad time, and I will hold all of you in my thoughts and prayers as well.
I remember a very special lady that came to my classroom once a week when Angela was in the 2nd Grade. She worked with the children in the class doing so many activities. She always had a kind word and a generous smile.
I know that she will be missed by all of you. Please take comfort in knowing that she touched many with her spirit, and I know this spirit will be carried in your hearts today and in the days to come.
So sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with your family in this time of need. 2Cor 1:3,4
