Not sure what to say?

Aunt Markley was my mother´s first cousin. I love visiting the South West and have very fond memories of her adobe house and the dogs and cats. When our son was born in 2001 much to our surprise and delight, she sent us a big box of many baby flannel blankets and washcloths all hand stitched. She also sent along some amazing sketches she did of New Mexican animals for the kids. Very special indeed. Love Margaret Harrison, Canada

My deepest condolences to a great PE teacher.. RIP

You were a cool teacher. My condolences to your family and loved ones.

Sending prayers to the family. I have great memories of Ms. Lumpkins as my PE teacher at Mid-High

This is so sad. Ms. Lumpkins was my PE teacher and swim coach. She was amazing. Strict but yet very respected. She nicknamed me "worm" because of my last name, Grubbs. Thanks for the great year at Mid High.

My deepest Sympathy May God heal your heart and give you good memories of Ms. Lumpkins. She was my brat as she called herself and very much loved.

What a super, funny lady! It was an honor to call her a friend.....Diana Capshaw
