I really liked her. Peace to your family.
I am really going to miss seeing Mabel at all of our credit union membership events. I loved her sense of humor and just talking with her. She was one very classy lady. Bless your family and friends especially Agnus.
Miss Frankenstein was my senior year English teacher during the 58-59 school year. Inspires me to this day. She will always be a part of who I am.
