Dear Hunter Family-
I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Hunter was my third grade teacher, in 1979. I have never forgotten her; she was one of my favorite elementary school teachers. She was always kind, supportive and caring of all her students. Teachers like her are the ones who truly made a difference in all of the children's lives that she touched. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

A sunbeam to her classmates, Patsy was much loved by us forty niners. Always a leader, she made many activities more vital and our memories will live on in our hearts of the difference she made! I just became aware that my world continues to grow smaller, as a new acquaintance at this turn of the century, Nancy Buzzell, member of my new church and a new found friend, is Patsy's sister!! I will enjoy sharing my memories of our bouncy cheerful little classmate with Nancy!! I am so glad for those memories! Frances Johnson Mains
