Van, as we called her, was a friend and a dear one at that, we lost track of each other, but reunited when we met up again.Van was doing what she loved to do working with autistic children. We greeted each other with a smile and hug. R.I.P. my friend. My sympathy goes out to the family.

Carolyn, my heart has been heavy for you, for Van and for all your family. Please know that you have my deep sympathy.

Carolyn,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

I worked with Van for several years at Boland. She was the life of the party and lit up any room she was in. She left a lasting impact on everyone she met. She often spoke of her family, especially her cherished grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. She will be greatly missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sorry to hear the sad news. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Carolyn and family, may God bless you in this time of sorrow. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers.

I will miss seeing Van every summer at summer school at Rebecca Johnson. She was a great lady and always made me smile. She loved all her "kids" and they were lucky to have had Van in their lives. I hope you find peace and happiness now. You will be missed.

Ms. Carol, Teletha, Mo and Teresa - I am so sorry for your loss. You all have been in my thoughts and prayers since I first learned that Van was sick. She will be missed dearly. ~Nikki
