Mrs Gunn has always been held in the hearts of me and my family with such love, respect, admiration, and appreciation.

I am saddened to learn of Mrs. Gunn's passing. I had the privilege of visiting with her several times over the past two years. She always captivated me with her stories and made a great impact on me.

Mrs. Gunn was my all time favorite teacher. I had her at Kensington Ave. school back in 1956. Sixty years later she remains in my memory. A truly lovely lady.

Sixty-one years ago Evelyn Henderson was my teacher at Kensington Ave. School. Some years later, I was so fortunate to teach with her at Greenaway Drive School.
In recent years, I once again had the good fortune to spend time with Evelyn. I will miss our visits, conversations, and lunch outings.
Mrs. Gunn was a beautiful woman inside and out. I know she is with God. My deepest sympathy to her family and to her many friends.
