Mrs. Nueser was a kind, inspiring and innovative teacher. I recall fondly Friday afternoon’s game of ‘Quizmo’ in fourth grade.
I met Inez when we both lived at the Sunset Apartments, and what a sweet lady she was. We could talk a long time about St. Francis school and my step-dads family. The lord is receiving an angel into his flock.
