Not sure what to say?

I’m sorry for your loss. I used to take classes with Kim B. at Sentara.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

Mrs Bee...will miss seeing you around---soooo much fun growing up in the neighborhood---lots of memories and good times.....condolences to Debbie & Tim and families

My deepest condolences to the family. I remember her fondly and I too learned to type (without looking at the keyboard) on an IBM select typewriter by Mrs. B at KHS in the early 80s.

Peggy always made me laugh. I substitute in her bridge club & always enjoyed seeing her. RIP

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Ms. B was a wonderful typing teacher at Kecoughtan, and thanks to her, I learned to be a touch typist, which not only helped me in college, but also helped me get better jobs when I first started working. I went on to become a teacher myself, and for several years, even taught "keyboarding" (the modern name for typing) to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Ms. B was always kind and motivating. I will always remember her fondly.

Mrs. B was my typing teacher at Kecoughtan many years ago. I remember her fondly and I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. Condolences to the family.

There is great sorrow to hear of Mrs. B’s passing. She was a wonderful teacher. On behalf of my mother, she was a great friend and fellow teacher. There are many treasured memories and she will not be forgotten. Peace to her family in this sorrowful time.
