My thoughts and prayers are with Coach Hill and all of Mrs Quigleys' family. Many , many people have been blessed by knowing each of you. You have no idea how many lives you touched in such a positive manner as we were fortunate to have such a great staff at BHS. May God grant you peace during this difficult time.

I express my thoughts and prayers to the family of Mrs. Quigley for their loss. Over the years since I graduated, I have experienced the sadness over the passing of a number of teachers I had while attending Brookville. They will always be remembered for helping make their students what they are today by teaching us what we needed in order to go through life and be successful. God bless them all.
Andy Woody, Brookville High, Class of 1965.
