A dear friend. We were part of the Flood Directors of Adult Basic Education. We visited frequently after we both retired. I looked forward to her Christmas card filled with family news. No card last year. I will miss her wonderful smile and friendship. Peace be with you, Alayne.
Russ, so sorry for your loss.
Such a sweet, gracious Christian lady. My adopted “Auntie”. Prayers for all as we trust in the Resurrection promises of Jesus!
