We love you Aunt Pritch and know you are in a much better place now.
Dear Randy & Linda,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember the first time I met Aunt Pritch. She had Kay, Rick and me over for dinner. I have such fond memories of her and Uncle Nunnie. My prayers are with you.
Dear Family,
Mrs. Terry was my 3rd grade teacher in 1973. She bustled with this wonderful energy -and I remember that she loved me – but then again, she loved all of her students, and all of us knew that.
As young as I was, I knew enough to carry her kindness forward into my life. My daughter’s teachers have been held to the high standards set by your Mother many years ago. I never forgot her.
I wish you peace during this difficult time.

I remember all the great stories Aunt Pritch would tell me and Tina and all the walks we used to take when we were young. You could sense her love for teaching and educating young minds. She will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
