My 1963 Roosevelt Panther classmate, Margaret Casey, exhibited such courage & strength as she dealt with life's issues. A hearty laugh, a loving hug, & always spirited conversation of days gone by whenever we chanced to meet. Our last meeting at Methodist with her in a wheelchair & me on a walker led to hilarious reminiscing that had to finally be curtailed by her nursing aide. Heaven awaits you, my friend. My heartfelt prayers to the Satterfield & Casey families.
