I worked with Mrs. Severns at the Tallmadge Jr. High and she was so good to me when I was so young. R.I.P. to such a wonderful woman. My deepest sympathy to Linda and her whole family.

Dear Matt,
Our sympathy to you and your family. What a lovely, well accomplished woman she is to read about today. When you spoke of her last week, we knew how special she was to you; and no doubt, she loved you very much. It is a true blessing to work with someone with your work ethic professionalism; and as they say, the apple does not fall very far from the tree. God guarantees that your grandmother will always be with you. Looking down from Heaven, she will enjoy seeing all of your smiles.
In our thoughts and prayers,
Carol Garretson (& Edward)
