Mrs Lubbe was my teacher! I love her so much! She will be missed! Hugs and prayers for the family.
I am so, so very sorry to hear of Mrs. Lubbe’s passing. She was always a friendly face for me at Unity’s Middle School Library. She sometimes was the only kind voice I heard all day as middle school can be rough. Lol
I always enjoyed seeing her at the round barn, and will miss her presence there during my next visits. Praying for comfort for her whole family.
So sorry to hear of her passing. Sending condolences to Glen and family.
My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. Jeannie was a deer and kind soul. I always appreciated when she would stop by to visit my mom Ruth Duppong when she was in the home. She was always friendly and made you feel welcome. God bless her and you as you go through this difficult time.
Oh Pam, Glen and family,
So very sorry to hear the news of Jeanne’s passing. Your mom was such an incredibly sweet, kind woman. I’ll always remember the many times we laughed together. May you cherish the memories you have with her, always! On behalf of the William Hilgenbrinck family we send our heart-felt sympathies.
