Mrs. Swain was a favorite teacher for 2 or 3 of my children. She was a lovely person. Sorry I missed the services. Norma Abram

Mrs. Swain was my sixth-grade teacher at Glen Carbon Elementary back in 1983-84. She could be tough as nails and very demanding — woe be to any student who gave her grief! But she was also one of the most loving and encouraging teachers I ever had. It's been years since I last saw her, but I've never forgotten her and all the support she gave me when I was one of her students. You're in my thoughts, Mrs. Swain...
