Sorry for your loss She was a sweet person. She was so helpful as we were in the Special Education program. She was a wonderful person always so helpful.
Mrs. Medley was my 2 & 3 grade teacher at Boonshill. she will always be dear to my heart and I am thankful for her. Tammy you are in my prayers, I know your loss!
I am so sorry for your loss Mark, Brenda and family. Cherish the memories you have together. Praying for peace for the family.
Marie and I graduated from Central in the class of 1952. She was such a sweet and caring girl. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
I loved this lady! She was my third grade teacher at Boonshill School and she is forever in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss. I saw her often over the years and she was always so wonderful to me! God bless you all.
Marie became my friend while I was a patient in Skilled Care several years ago and I found her to be a very kind giving person. I had known she was a teacher at Boonshill but only had the pleasure of enjoying her bubbly personality at Donalson. My sympathy to her family especially her precious Tammy whom she loved so deeply. May God Bless You.
Mark and Brenda,
I am very sorry for your loss of Marie. So many losses in this life especially as we become older ourselves. Just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Linda Gatlin
