Mrs. Brussel was always so nice when she worked at the school and when I would see her at Kendalia events. I send my condolences to her family.

I was so surprised to read of Joy's passing. After Frank's passing, she sent me the kindest thank you card for my thoughts and prayers.
This was the type of person I remember: full of love and thoughtfulness to everyone she met.
What a glorious reunion for the two of them!
