Not sure what to say?

Dear Betsy and the Drummond family, we were saddened to hear of your mother's passing. Each of us has warm memories of her from Montessori. She will always be remembered for her warm smile and gentle laugh. How fortunate we all were to have had her in our lives!

My thoughts are with you. Christa was one strong, amazing, gracious lady!
Much love,

Dear Chuck and Family,

Christa's gentle voice over the telephone has carried me through many a difficult battle. My heart broke when I learned that she was called to fight the same battle for herself. Now, her fight is over and her faith has carried her home.

She was one of the most gentle, gracious and elegant women that I have ever known. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Betsy, Chris, and Annemarie:
I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Drummond's passing. She was one of my favorite teachers, if not my favorite. I always loved the songs and other things she taught us in kindergarten. I know she's in a better place now, but she will be terribly missed. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. You all are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Dear Betsy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Christa was a very special lady. I have many fond memories of her while teaching the children German, her songs and her beautiful smile. She was a pleasure to work with. I also remember the admiration she had in her eyes when she would see you with the children.
Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Betsy and family...I love this photo of your Mom..she looks exactly the same as I remember when we were all growing up in Alexandria. She was a wonderful person..putting up with all the wild things we did(especially when you got your license!) ..she never lost her cool, she just moved you to Blacksburg!! :)
I am heartfully sorry and will miss her. love to you all -

My thoughts and prayers are with the Drummond family.
Christa had a smile of gold, and she was a blessing to have known.

I will always remember Christa's warm smile as my Montessori school teacher in the mid-80s and a fellow churchgoer at Northside Presbyterian Church.
May Christa's loving family find comfort during this difficult time.

As one of her first Montessori students in Blacksburg I am forever indebted to this wonderful lady. My love to the family.
