Thank you Mrs. Dunn. You handed me my first novel, I still remember your beautiful smile saying Pam just try it. And that started a love of books that hasn't stopped or slowed down. I owe that 100% to you. Thank you!

My condolences to the Dunn family. Your wife and mother was such a lovely woman. I often think about the days I spent in her first grade class. Wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
