Fondly remember her in my days at Graysville school. She told me to go work in a bank, so how we never received good direction in future jobs like some students get nowadays or maybe it was me. Happy I was able to see her and other old friends at the reunion - Posted by: jake falk (student) on: Oct 16, 2014

When someone we love passes away, We ache, but we go on; Our dear departed would want us to heal, After they are gone. Grief is a normal way to mend The anguish and pain in our hearts; We need time to remember and time to mourn, Before the recovery starts. Let's draw together to recuperate, As we go through this period of sorrow; Let's help each other, with tender care To find a brighter tomorrow. - Posted by: Jason Hanterman (grandson) on: Oct 16, 2014
