It is a pleasure, honor and joy to minister to God’s people such as Irma. I miss her, but she enjoys the visible presence of our Lord Jesus, and what could be better for her?
Mrs. Schneider was my first grade teacher at McDowell Elementary School in 1967-1968. She sure did make Kindergarten very comforting for us kids. The one memory I have of her in Kindergarten is the perfume she wore, and sitting all of us students in a circle and read us a book in the afternoon. The memory I have of her, I will cherish and carry with me forever!
My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Tom.
