I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Thompson, even though I did not have her as a teacher, I respected her so much. She was serious about teaching but she also had a funny sense of humor that came out ever so often. Deepest condolences to both Katie & Lee in the loss of your mom. May you find peace in knowing how much she was loved and respected by those who knew her.
Sincerely,
Darlene Bowers Prewitt
