Love and prayers to the family.
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers
I am sorry for your loss. I want to share with you that I have always remembered Mrs Adams with fondness. She was my grade school teacher and she was always willing to help me. I even went to ask her help in high school when I needed help. She was kind and had a lot of patience with me. I was always grateful. She will always be one of my favorite teachers.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
