Debra, Ginny, and George
We have very fond memories of your Mom and Dad when they lived in Shawville. Your Mom taught Karen and Jackie that I know of. Jackie said what a wonderful teacher she was.
Hopefully all these wonderful memories you have of your Mom will help you get through this very difficult time.
Our deepest sympathy to all your families

My sympathy to all the Stones Family. I had the pleasure of having both Mr. and Mrs. Stones teach me in high school. I have many good memories of both of them......learning to sew and agriculture. I went through school with George, but knew Ginger and Deb as well.

Definitely two special people of our education system in Shawville. May they rest in peace.

I was a student of Mrs. Stones at Shawville High School. She had such a warm and pleasant personality - always a smile. My deepest sympathy to the family in the loss of a wonderful lady.

Dear Debra,Ginger & George,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are very saddened of your Mom's passing. Both your parents were very kind and generous to us while we lived in Shawville and years after. Anna never missed a letter or a card once a year, which made us still connect. We are thankful to have the memories,the laughter and most importantly the friendship over all the years. May God Bless You All.

George was my Ag. teacher in Shawville and Anna taught my mom (Idena Judd) leathercraft. They were both members of Que.Farm Forum and we had many an animated discussion in our kitchen. I still remember them (mostly George) getting cedar brouse from Lee Hodgins bush, beside our farm, for "Stonehavan" Anna will be fondly remembered by all whose life she touched; here in Shawville. May the Lord be with you all!
