May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Mrs. Scheufler was my 1st grade teacher in Pratt, KS and I have fond memories of her. I was in touch with Debbie and Pam last year and sent them a long letter with copies of the items my mother had saved for me in a memory box. I recently attended my 50th high school reunion in Pratt and shared with the ones that were in her class about Mrs. Scheufler. I will be getting (finally) a copy of our 1st grade class picture and will share it with the family soon.

Sincerely,
Jill Morris Peters
