I have very fond memories of Miss Prosser as my Kindergarten teacher. She made each of her kids feel welcome and special. I will always remember having popcorn as a snack from that amazing popcorn maker. My deepest condolences to her family.

Miss Prosser was my kindergarten teacher in 1956. She did all of the right things for me. I cried for days at the beginning of kindergarten, and my mom later told me the good advice from Miss Prosser. I am a kindergarten teacher now. I bet Miss Prosser influenced me in my choice of grade levels! My condolences to your family.

I have fond memories of Miss Prosser. She was our daughter, Linda's, kindergarten teacher in 1969. We lived in Miraloma Park @ the time. She was an excellant teacher and you could tell that she really enjoyed the children she taught. Our condolences to her family.
