Funeral of Mrs White

Mrs. White was the quintessential teacher and scholar
she had taught us humanities, english, social studies, and music
her funeral was the largest our small Iowa town had ever seen
for she was beloved, respected, and approved by our children

L Milton Hankins November 9, 2022 at 9:56 AM I truly believe that most communities have a Mrs. White. As I look over the places I have lived, there is always one teacher who stood out and was dearly loved. Caren Krutsinger November 9, 2022 at 8:14 PM Mrs. Kay aka Mrs. White became my mother-in-law.
