Greatest teacher I ever had! I’m 60 now and if I would run into her she would talk to me like an old friend. The world needs more caring teachers and strong women like her. I know she loved her family dearly - she always talked about her boys wrestling and then the paths they chose . You were lucky to have her for a mom!! God bless her and the family during this time - I will never forget her. Sincerely, Kathy (Elbert) Bach
