Sympathy and prayers to the family. What a sweet and kind teacher. One time in Middle School Home Ec, she accidentally grabbed the white soap detergent powder instead of the sugar.
What fun memories!!!! And she was a the most proper and courteous teacher I can remember!

Mrs. "V" was such a sweet woman. I will always remember her warm smile and her sweet voice. She was always so nice and pleasant. So very sorry for the Vondriska family losing another beloved member of the family this year.

My thoughts prayers are with your family. I remember spending time with Maryanna in Ohio and at my mom's making cookies and fried chicken. Time passes and distance causes us to lose contact but we never lose good memories. Cousin Vickie
