I am so sorry for your loss. My Mom and Dad knew your parents some time back. Your Mom and Dad would come by and take my sister or I waterskiing with them at Lake Decatur. Mrs. Gard was my PE teacher and Health teacher. I will always remember her laugh. A beautiful lady, God be with you in this difficult time.
