I was in her afternoon class in the fall of 1973. At 46, I still have so many memories of being in her class. I was telling my children about the tee-pee that we had in our class and the clay pots we made like Native Americans. There was an alphabet rug on the floor and everyone sat in a circle on the letters. We learned a lot about letters! I remember a time we had a full carnival in our classroom, just for our class. She passed out popcorn and we had a great time! We got naps back in those days and every day I would lay so still, so quiet because the kid who was the quietest, got to use the clown puppet to walk around the room and wake everyone up, one by one. What a privilege that was! Your mom was a special woman that leaves behind a legacy of excellence in teaching. God's blessings on you and your family!Teresa Kutinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-50547873144480231582012-11-06T22:31:32.062-06:002012-11-06T22:31:32.062-06:00Doug, I'm crying at this point...

I remember being in her class as if it were yesterday and my sister and I are 34 and 35 years old:)She was love. I came across your blog by looking for the old Myott Park apartments that my mom ,sister and I resided in and I thought to look her up. (our mom passed away in 2003) There wasn't a doubt in my mind that she would be admired in words somewhere on this internet... In happy tears, I now understand that even the most wonderful things can't be forever. Thank you so much for the closure in my heart but never in my memories, God bless your family as he has ours.Ericka Gillettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604956212446678176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-42996149201237524832010-04-22T17:28:02.075-05:002010-04-22T17:28:02.075-05:00I was a student of hers in 1980-1981.

If it weren't for her being my Kindergarten teacher, I would not be the person I am today! She also was kind enough to send my family one of her first books, as she was such a kind and thoughtful woman. Thoughts and prayers be with the family and friends. Please keep her memory alive. She is LOVED.Lori Linesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-87839554248373551002010-04-21T11:26:42.001-05:002010-04-21T11:26:42.001-05:00Doug, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother'...Doug, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She sounds like a very special lady and I'm sure you all miss her greatly. Having been through the loss of both of my parents, the only advice I can offer is that you will always miss them but the grief will lessen with time.<br /><br />Jim CrockettUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219306424731595694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-68636112057486658522010-04-11T16:29:18.529-05:002010-04-11T16:29:18.529-05:00Doug,
