I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She was such a sweet lady as a friend, and even as my 4th grade teacher. Our parents always had such fun times together, and we all have great memories of the times we all spent together, either on the farm or just dinners together at each others homes. My prayers are with each of you during this difficult time, but take comfort that your parents are together again and have join many of their friends that have gone before them. It's always hard to lose a parent but it's comforting to know they are at peace and no longer suffering. Love to you all, Diane Milligan

Lynn, John, and Mary, my sisters and I were so sad to read about your mother’s death, because we know how much she was loved by all, and how much she will be missed by y’all!! But we’re also happy, because we know that she will never know pain or suffering again, and that she was welcomed by the hosts of heaven... including your dad, all the relatives and friends waiting there for her!! She was such a wonderful lady, with a smile that lit up the whole room (like our mom!!)!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families, as you go through the next few weeks and months. Mary, I’d love to touch base with you sometime (later) I don’t have your current info - but no matter what, know that your mom was loved by our family!!! ? Jeannie Langston, and Ann, Beth, Cathy, Dianne, and Susie

I am sorry for your loss. Mrs. Doshier was my 4th grade teacher at Eagle Heights. She was a treasure for sure. I did get the ruler smacked on my hand a time or 2 but very much deserving of it! haha. I know one time, my parents were going to be gone for a few days and I was stressed out about what they were going to do with me. ( I am sure they had a plan, I just didn't know it.) Anyway your mom could tell I was anxious and talked to me. She said I would be welcome to come stay with her. That made feel so special that she would open her home to me. Of course my parents did have a plan for me and I didn't get to but I just wanted to share with you how she made me feel. I should have looked her up and written her a card. I just had no idea where to start. I pray you have comfort during this time.
