Anita --

Your mother taught me piano lessons for about six or seven years way back in the early 70's. She was wonderful, and I have fond memories of those days. I was not a great and talented student by any means, but she was always without fail so sweet, supportive and patient none-the-less. I have never forgotten her. My family knew her through Chamberlayne Church. I know she was a great mother as well as a great teacher and person - a true lady. I pray your loving memories of her will comfort you now. Heaven has been blessed by her arrival. Debbie Whitley Schurz
