To Bea and family, please know you are in my prayers. I remember Mrs. Nagal having such a soft voice and was always so calm and collected no matter what. As an adult I have found that a miracle when dealing with young children, but she could do it automatically. I know that Mother was there to greet her as they taught together at Federalsburg. We were fortunate to have such wonderful people to guide us. Once again, you are in my prayers. God Bless.
JoAnne was a college friend and also in my wedding party. She was a dear, dear person. I am flashing back to all the great times we had together. Our condolences to her family. Love from MaryLou Matthes Wilson and husband Clem.
I have so many fond memories of Mr. Myers and Ms. JoAnne. My heart breaks with your loss. She had such a warm and gentle spirit. My one comfort is that Dad and Mr. Myers were waiting for her. May all of the fond memories you share keep Ms. JoAnne alive in your heart and soul forever and ever.
Mom-mom was my grandmother-in-law and she was such an amazing woman! She always put her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren first! She even taught me a way to calm my son down (her fourth great-grandchildren) -- rub his ears! I loved talking to her about her teaching career and the ups and downs of education (I taught Kindergarten as well). I am so thankful that I got to know her for 6 and 1/2 years! I will miss her generous spirit, her amazing sense of humor, and those colorful hats!
