My thoughts and prayers are with Anita and Donna on the loss of their mother.
Anita, Sending heartfelt condolences in your time of sorrow. You remain in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Love, Heidi
Donna and Anita, We warmly remember your mother while growing up in the Asbury Church family. She was a good friend to our family. May you both be comforted in the knowledge that she now is alive in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus. Fondly, ClaudiaSchnieder, Becky Wilson and families
Mrs. Tiemeyer was my 3rd grade teacher at McKinley Elementary School. One of my best memories of school is when she would read to us everyday, for the last 15-20 minutes of the day. She helped foster and feed my love of books/reading…she brought to life the Little House books (of which I still own a set!) and so many others. She was a blessing to all of her students!
