    Betty and family, I was so sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. My memories of your Mother are at Washington High where my room was across the hall from her during my first year of teaching. It was such a comfort starting out each day seeing her sweet smile as I admired her latest professional sewing project. Sandie (Lawrence) Schuster
