Lynn - As a long time ago classmate of yours, I still remember coming to your house to play games with you, your brother Neal, and your friend Roxanne. It was the only time I ever met your mother, but do recall she was very friendly, and made me feel at home. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences at this time.

I had the pleasure of being one of Mrs.Ebert's kindergarten students at Horace Man school. I am now 72 years old and still remember when she brought a live white rabbit for all of us to see. She was such a great person! Rest In Peace Mrs. Ebert

I was saddened to hear about Mrs. Ebert's passing. She was my Kindergarten teacher at Washington Elementary School in Sheboygan during the 80's. I have very happy memories, and can still recall the clean-up song she played on the piano. She was a sweet person, and a kind teacher. I hope to attend the future celebration of her life.
