Paul, Susan, Dan and family,
I was sorry to read about your wife/mother's passing. To me she was Miss Young, and then Mrs. Trenary, when I was in 4th grade. I remember that we had a hard time pronouncing her new name. She was my favorite teacher at Harrison Hill (and I also the thought the prettiest!!) Dan, I think that I ran into you at a Civic theatre function a number of years ago and was able to tell you that. I was blessed to have her as my teacher and now I believe our Lord is using her special talents in Heaven. Keeping your family in my prayers.
A faithful student,

Dave Garman

Paul, Susan, Dan and family -- We were so sorry to hear about Charlotte's passing. She was an anchor in Simpson's choir and a blessing to all who knew her. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that she is resting in the arms of Jesus. With our love,
