Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Hammer was my home ec teacher freshman 1975 and sophomore year 1976 at NHS. She was my favorite teacher of all times. All through the years. I sure wish I was able to see her once again before her passing.

Lynn and family,

We were so saddened to hear of Penny's passing. She fought long and hard to stay healthy. The extra years you and your children and grandchildren had with her are so precious. She always had a smile on her face and was a genuinely nice person. Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.

Penny was a caring speech professional who gave kind care to patients and was a true pleasure to work with. I feel so lucky to say she was my friend in exercise as well. We will miss you and never forget you. -Doug Becknell & Christie Nevenhoven
