Mrs Valona was my absolute favorite teacher of all time. She was my homeroom and English teacher way back in the late 60s , early 70's. I have thought of her so often over the years and even got to visit with her at her once many moons ago. I wish I would have gone again.
You were loved Mrs Valona...

Dear Ron & Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Julie. We were out of town when Don called to tell us that Julie had passed. I'll always remember her as a classmate and good friend. We had a lot of fun during our class reunion meetings. God Bless.
