Your mother and my mother were friends as they taught together in the CFC. I'm sure they had many talks about the kids, principals, and many more things.
My mother has been gone several years.

As I look back at my formative years, many names come to mind; Mrs. Charlotte Kenyon, Mrs. Bausch, Mrs. Mary Cook, and especially your Mother, Mrs. Rae Crouch. Not only was she the mother of our classmate, Darryl, but she was also a great teacher, positive role model, and a smiling face that would greet us each weekday morning during the school year. She has left this earth, but she will never leave our minds, as she left such a wonderful and lasting impression on all of us at Chenango Forks Central School. May God Bless you and your family during this time of sorrow and remembrance.
