She was best recess and lunchroom lady (she would sneak me treats). She always made me feel special, and at Halloween she would have treats just for me. I will miss her.

Such a special person; she always had a treat for one of the kids and a smile on that beautiful face. How lucky we were to have known her. We will so miss her. Our prayers are with you Terry, Kelly & Justin. Please call if you need anything.
