Sorry to hear of Mrs. French's passing. She will forever be in the memories of my childhood. I was lucky to see her a few years ago. She looked just the same as she did when she worked at the school.

I am so sorry to read of Marge's passing. She was a fellow cat lover, and good neighbor. Debbie and Lisa, I don't know how to put into words my sorrow for you. Sending prayers. Deb Shafer
