Steve: You have my sympathies at the loss of your mother. She impacted the lives of many students at North High School. While I did not have her in class, you may remember the "Senior Trip" of 1963 to Washington and New York when you accompanied your mother and Mr. Blythe with our group of seniors. I recall the class picture had you on both ends of the line of students as you ran from one end to the other while the photographer was sweeping across the group.

Mrs. Ayers was my counselor at North during my junior and senior years. She was a very dedicated lady and she always wanted what was best for her students. She helped me a lot with all of the college applications and letters of recommendation. She always encouraged me to do my best.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends during this difficult time. May God's grace help comfort you in the weeks ahead. I hope that it gives you solace to know that she truly made the world a better place.

I remember Mrs. Ayers from working in the Mesker Summer Musicals in '68. She kept us in line, but had a great time with us also. She worked very hard "behind the scenes," and was very kind to me personally, which I've never forgotten. I will always remember her warmly.

My deepest sympathy on your loss. I was fortunate to have Mrs. Ayers as my counselor at North High from 1978-1982. She was a wonderful caring woman who provided great guidance and support. She will be missed.
