Prayers going out to the family. While sitting back and reflecting on the past and the memories of Mrs. Robertson during my years of school, she was indeed a very patience person, while taking piano lessons from her, to receiving a superior rating my senior year during solo and ensemble contest with her help..

As a "newbie" teacher at Malvern, I was blessed to have Mary Glenna as an example and mentor. Her advice saved me several times from giving up on my idea of being an educator. She was always calm and loved her students.
