I just recently found out about the passing of Mrs. Swain. She was my 1st grade teacher. I told my wife that she was the only teacher I fell in love with during my school days. She allowed me to stay with her during recess and I thought that was a big deal. God bless her family.

When we lose a grandmother, we lose a library of knowledge, a dear friend and confidante. The best way to honor them, is by living a life that would make them smile
