To the Preston Family,

In 1967-1968 your Mother was my 5th grade teacher. I was not always the best behaved little boy, but your Mother overlooked that and treated me very kind and special. I have always remembered her tenderness and kindness to me.
I am sorry for your loss.

Ethel. Donna and family, to you goes my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Mrs. Preston was a unique individual. She was so gifted with so may talents. Even though it has been years since she lived on Rabbit Hill, your mother would come to mind each time I drove past her old drive. May our dear Lord and Saviour be with with you and give you comfort at this time.
