Gary-

Please express my sympathy to the other members of your family. I am sorry that I cannot attend the services. Your mom was a very nice person, and very supportive when I taught you 32 years ago. (how time flies!)

My mom Alva Barjon Washington was one of Beeba's closest friends and unfortunately I never had the pleasure to meet her. In fact, my mom stood in her wedding. However, I am glad that she brightened my mom's life with her friendship.

To Mrs. Hithe's family: She was truly a sweet person. She was the best secretary W.J. Guste Elementary School ever had. She was always there for the staff and for the students. She was like a lifesaver for the parents. I was the parent liason worker for Title I program, she got that job for me. She will really be missed. Family, remember Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal.
