Dear Prentice Family,
I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. We worked together in the school district. She was such a loving and kind person, just a joy to be around. I moved on to other districts but always thought of her, especially when driving by her home. She loved her family so much, and always spoke of her family with so much love.
She was a wonderful person to know.
My condolences,
Susan Cunningham
