Not sure what to say?

Many years have passed, but the kindness and words of encouragement from Mrs. B to a very shy 3rd grader will never be forgotten. She touched the lives of so many in a positive way. A true treasure. My deepest condolences to the family.

Mrs.b was my third grade tracker. I met my two best friends there in her class,she and my dad, Ed brown worked together,at westlake for many years. Thanks Mrs B for the love of learning.

Mrs Bickford was my third grade at Fort Custer. We were bussed there while Westlake was being built. She was one of my very favorite teachers. At Christmas break, that year, my mom took me to her house, so I could show her my newly adopted sister. She was truly a wonderful person!

Our deepest condolencis off the loss

Mrs. Bickford was such a wonderful, kind teacher. My brother, Steve Crandell, and I were both blessed to be students of hers at Westlake Elementary many years ago. I still remember her beautiful smile.

Dearest Ken and family, we were sad to hear of your moms passing. We always felt she was a very nice lady. She always had something nice to say when we would see her on our walks. She always beamed with a smile.
She was a wonderful lady. Once again, our condolences.
Your friends, Dave and Linda Williamson
