  14. Dear Dale and Amy, I was deeply sorry to hear of The loss of your mother. May God grant you peace during this very difficult time. Love, Maria Yianopolous

  15. Dear Roger and family,
    I was so surprised and saddened to hear about Paula. What a wonderful person she was and made such a positive influence in my first years at AMS. My prayers are with all of you and I pray that God will give you peace in the time to come. God bless you all!

  16. I was so sad when I heard that your Mom had passed away. I can still hear her voice in my head. She was always so kind to all of my family. Your Mom was there for those early field trips at Vance and then at Hall Fletcher, too. On our first day of middle school, I somehow managed to change classes ahead of schedule. I wound up in Maths with the 7th graders who all laughed at me and then had no idea where I was really supposed to be. Paula came by, sorted me out and made me feel less the fool. I’m really sorry for your loss. I’ll have all of you and your Mom in my prayers.

  17. Dear Roger and Family,
    My deepest sympathy is extended to you all at this difficult time. I would have attended her service, but only found out today. Paula was my friend and I have many fond memories of our times at HF and AMS. God be with you all.
