Mrs. Black was my advanced education teacher at Cumberland Elementary School when I was in the 6th grade - about 1970. I have many fond memories of the mind-opening things we had a chance to do thanks to her. Sculpt and carve "plaster of paris" in an Alvar Aalto style that we mixed in milk cartons (it was as special as marble to me); learn how to play chess; listen to classical music which I had never done before and paint with acrylics. My folks still have the waterfall I painted in her...

Tom and Nancy...a tough time, saying good-by to Mom, but what a wonderful, long and fulfilling life she had. My best memories involve her boisterous cheering at Basketball games, when her voice could be clearly heard! We were lucky to have our moms for such a long time, but moving on without them is certainly different. Relishing memories is our comfort. My thoughts are with you.
