My heart is heavy for your loss. Having grown up with Gail, I spent a good deal of time riding bikes to your house during our grade school years. My memories of Shirley are only pleasant ones - her delightful smile and cheerful demeanor. God bless you all as you heal from your loss.

Dear Carol and Family,
I loved your mom. She was one of my favorite teachers. My sister Cheryl says the same thing. My mom was her room mother for several years and my parents pass along their condolences. So very sorry for the loss of a lovely woman. Your classmate, Kathy (Koselke)
