Dear Norma,
I realize that this very late, however, I want to share my sincere sympathy with you and your family. I wanted to make it to the gathering at UCCS in July, but was not able.
I sent a card to your Acacia address, but it was returned to me.
You are an inspiration to my family and taught 2 of our 3 daughters at Woodmen Roberts...you are the best Kindergarten teacher in our community and you made a huge impact on our family in so many positive ways.
I remember your husband and his involvement in our community.
If you would like to call me and give me your address, I will forward my card to you.
My number is 719 205 9945. I hope you get this.
With Peace and many fond memories,
Ann Mandico, John, Maria, Michelle and baby Christina :)
