Praying for you and your family. Anne was a wonderful teacher at Botkins School and 3 of my 5 children had her. She inspired my daughter to also become a 1st grade teacher. Rejoice, for now she is free and in God's arms praising Him! Prayers are also sent to Mike's family, praying Owen is doing well. Remember, you are all truly loved here in Botkins!
