We extend sincere condolences to Jim and Tom and to your families on the passing of your mother. All of us who grew up in Axtell remember her as a skilled, knowledgeable and caring teacher whose exacting standards made lifelong positive changes in our lives. As I have labored over thousands of pages of material that I have written and published in my life, I have remembered the English and composition lessons that Mrs. Anderson taught almost as many times. Our prayers are with all of you.
