Connie, your photo is lovely and exactly as I remember you. I loved partnering with you as team teachers of the three-year-old children at TLC Sunday School. You had such a gentle guiding nature with the kiddoes.
Wally and family, in this time of sorrow, too deep for words, I am keeping all good thoughts for you and hoping each day brings you a greater measure of peace to comfort your heart.
With sympathy,
Bette
