Kim & Tammy so sorry for your loss of your mom. She was a great lady. Bennie
Thank you for the lovely picture. She was my teacher at St. Mary’s and my favorite. I remember trying to write like her (I still do at times) she’s been thought about over the years. I was able to connect with her several years ago! I remember when she was dating Fred. Us students knew that “love was in the air”!
