Roger, Nancy, Mary, Greg, and families:
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I have so many pleasant memories of Ceil. When I first started at QND back in the summer of ’83 as a 1st year teacher, she took me under her wing and made sure I knew what to do! As you know, the ladies in the office are the most important–and valuable–people in any school. I will pray that HE gives you the strength and courage you need in the days ahead and that HE will fill your memories and hearts with only the good memories of your mom and grandma. God Bless
Lonny

Deepest Sympathy to you all. At QND she always had a smile on her face even when I got a tardy for showing up to school late.
