To the family of Miss Engler,
She was such an important person in my life as I was a child who loved to read. She always set aside special books for me each time I visited. I learned from her at a very young age that as long as I had a good book, I had a good friend. When she had story hour she became the story she told. I only wish I could have told her myself how special she was to me. Please accept my condolences.

I will always remember her summer book clubs with great pleasure she taught me reading allows one to relax and enjoy an adventure. Heaven has gained another angel and everyone there will be enjoying story hour.
