My deepset sympathies to Mrs. Eller's family.
She was my 3rd grade teacher, as well as both my older sisters.
My mother was the PTA President when we went to school at Perry Elementary. Mom and Mrs. Eller became good friends. We lost touch with her and often thought about her. It was very sad to see about her passing. I'll always remember her with such fond memories. She was a very special lady.
My Mom asked to send her condolences as well.

My sympathies to the family.
Myrtle was a good friend of my Mom's; Myrtle taught 3rd grade at the same school where my Mom taught 4th grade. She was also my third grade teacher, and a fine one at that.
