I was in the 6th grade and you were in the 4th
at Robles Elementary School. Free, your Mom wass a wonderful teacher when I was in the 6th grade. And still, she was just as wonderful when I saw her in Plant City, back in 2005 or 2006.
My condolences to you and your family.

We are praying that God will be your refugee and strength during this time. Mrs. McGriff has been a tremendous blessing to me and my family. The moment we move from Brooklyn, New York to Tampa, she adopted us into her family and showed us much love. We love her dearly.
