Mrs. Weinberg was my teacher at Lake Prairie Elementary School. I have fond memories of our classroom time together. She has touched many lives.

Although I did not know Ruth personally, she was a 'cousin' and I am glad to know that she has entered the world of our Lord. My condolences to the family.
