My Aunt Jane was a very important part of my life. Her poise and grace will be forever remembered. I do think it was she who persuaded my parents it was "ok" for jeans to be worn in school. I love her.

I was sorry to learn of the passing of Mrs. Reed. I remember her as my daughter's second grade teacher (1992-1993). She was always so pleasant when she greeted anyone, and she was a very excellent teacher, very patient. My prayers are with your family as you grieve your loss. Heaven has gained another angel.

John and children, I am so sorry that you have lost your wife and mother. I pray you will have peace and comfort as you grieve her death. You have grieved the person she once was and now you will experience the pain of knowing she has physically left your lives. Her memories will live on in you and I would expect that the joy she gave you will linger in your hearts. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
