Condolences & Memories (19 entries)

• One of my favorite teachers. Always patient and so kind. She had a great smile that welcomed you to the classroom. I will also never forget her purple dress she wore always my favorite. I reminded her of this several times when I ran into her in the last several years. My mom always let her know she was a favorite. Condolences to all the family and remember her spirit and what she shared with all of you and all her students. - Posted by: Cori (Dawley) Yakiwchuk (former student) on: Jun 12, 2017

• Mrs Graham was my Grade 3 teacher. I will never ever forget her and the big part of my life she was. Her smile and patience were second to none. I ran into her as part of my adult career working in a dental office. Whenever I saw her, I gave her a big hug and exclaimed that she hadn't changed a bit...........and she hadn't!!! I am 53 years old so you can imagine how long ago Mrs Graham taught me. I will always remember her fondly. Please accept my sincere thoughts at this very difficult time.......... - Posted by: Joan ( Styles) Todd (Former Student) on: May 10, 2017
