What an amazing person she was! One of the very few adults that inspired, supported and encouraged me as a young person. We called her Mrs B. It seemed to tickle her to have that
Nickname.
I was honored to be able to visit with her as an adult probably 5, maybe 10 years ago (time flies, you know) We talked about what an encouragement she was and about her time at Eastmont. Mrs B truly was a treasure, so sorry to see she has past.

So sorry for your loss. Louise was a wonderful person, I remember her and Jim from Eastmont Pres. Church years ago. I also remember Becky and I going to girls club at the YWCA. ( Remember the fashion show that we did Becky?)
And her close friend Mary Sprague? She will be missed,
Your friend and neighbor,
Kay (Kathleen) McKenzie

Mrs Buchanan was a counselor when I was in highschool and she was always there for the students with a smile. She helped me through a serious problem and when I think of those years she always comes to mind as a positive influence. I was just talking about her a few days ago. So sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what a great mother she was. I am 70 so it has been a few years and she still is in my thoughts. I actually ran in to her a few years ago and she seemed the same sweet lady.
