Mrs Smith was a great teacher. I hated math but I loved her. I was her teachers assistant my senior year. I was headed off to study at the University of Utah. She took the time to counsel and encourage me on how to become a better student and a decent human being. She was a great roll model and my life became better from the time I shared with her. I thought of her as I graduated from college and throughout my successful career.

She planted a lot of good seeds, nurtured with genuine kindness and decency. She will be missed but never forgotten!

Evelyn was a great mentor for me as I tried to learn how to tat. I have missed her dearly since she moved from Sacramento. I miss driving her back and forth to the tatting meetings :) RIP Dear Evelyn. My prayers go out to the family during this time.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful teacher and Council member of Bethel 355 IOJD. She had a kind heart and always had kind words of encouragement for the youth that she worked with.
