Diane, Jim and the Stewart family. I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. I always admired Tottie for the successful way she raised her family and still accomplished so much in her life. She was a "Very Special Lady"
My prayers are for you all.

Dear Stewart Family - I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She will always be an important person in my life, a neighbor "mom", my 6th grade teacher and my best friend's Mom. She taught us all so much, esp. many of our Fenton clan. A little story: She fell one day in class at STM and got up and said, "just call me, Grace! I thought she was sooo classy! So, I will -- God's speed to heaven Mrs. Stewart, you always had such grace and class! You will be missed by me and my family. All our love to all of the Stewarts! Kitty Fenton

My sympathies for the loss of your mom. Mrs Stewart taught history at St Thomas More. Excellent teacher. To this day I remember Atilla the Hun and how the Mongels invaded Asian countries. She sparked my interest in History. Well done Mrs Stewart.

What an amazing woman...beautiful article in the paper. My heartfelt prayers to all the Stewarts at this time.

Mrs. Stewart was my principal at Christ the King Elementary School in the late 1980s. She was a joy to work for, and to work with---one of the best principals I'd ever had. But what really shone through about Tottie was her kindness, grace, and humor. She had it all. What a wonderful person. Rest in peace, Tottie, and blessings to your family.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Harrington
