Not sure what to say?

David and family,
I just looked at the Raleigh Court Pres. website and saw the news of your mother's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was such a lovely lady, and a good friend to my mom. I enjoyed visiting with her, and you, at Brandon Oaks.
May the Lord be with you and comfort you.

I loved teaching with Dot at Fleming. She was a bright spot I could always count on. She was so kind and optimistic and fun to be around. I am so glad I got to know her. The world is a sadder place without her. My sympathy to your family.

Lauren, Robyn, and family-

Your Nana was like a third grandma to me when I lived in Roanoke. I'll never forget how lucky I felt to have a substitute grandma just down the road when my own were so far away. Thank you for sharing her with me! It was through her that I got to have you as friends! I'm so sorry to hear that she has passed away, but also so happy to know she lived such a long and healthy life.

David and family - we are so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We appreciate so much Mrs. Walden's many years of service to the Roanoke City Schools.

Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of all the Skellys. Mrs. Walden was a great neighbor when we were growing up and added much to making Avenel Avenue a great place to live.

Tommy, David, Lauren and Robyn,
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord send his angels to surround you all with love and strength.
If you need anything please know I am here.

To the family, This lady was my favorite teacher @ Jefferson High(62-64) She instilled the desire to read in me in Eng. Lit class and was the only teacher I visited @ the school after graduation. God has claimed another angel. Your family is in my prayers with your grieving.
