Ron and family,

We are so sorry to hear about Mrs. Welker. My brother and I both had her as our 5th grade teacher at Pea Ridge Elementary. We will always remember her, especially her love for Marshall University! We wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts.

Ron,

I'm so sorry to hear the news. Wish I'd have known you were in Mt. Dora. We lived in Orlando for about a year before relocating to Ft. Myers. I'll give you a call the next time we're in the area, my youngest sister lives in Oviedo.
