Mabel was one of my most favorite people at DMV. She was the first instructor I had when I started to work there. We became best of friends, and kept in touch by letter each year after she retired.
I was so glad to see her when she returned to VA.
She will be greatly missed.
To the family, I will have you in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
