Mrs. Puckett, you were such an awesome teacher. Because of you I learned so much about other countries, and I enjoyed your reading us stories about Kit Carson and the wild West. I will never forget you.

So sad to hear the news of Louise's death. I had her as my 4th grade teacher and she had a tremendous impact on my life. She was so creative and truly was my favorite teacher. Great memories! Please know that I am praying for the family during this difficult time.

Jun and Charlotte: We are so sorry we can't be with you for the viewing and funeral for Mrs. Puckett. We always enjoyed her as she joined us when you were playing. She was quite a lovely "lady" and we loved her. May God hold her family in His arms. Ron and Marilyn
