Dear Christy: I saw your mother's obituary in the Town Talk this morning. I know we've not kept in touch since we roomed together at NSU, but I wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you at this time. Elaine
I had the honor of working with your mom for several years at Tioga Elementary. She was a wonderful Teacher and Lady.
Olline was a special friend when teaching together at Tioga Elementary from those 1st days of the school opening until I left for a job at the VA Medical Center. (1987) That first faculty had a special bond. I was the Speech Pathologist. Miss Olline, Miss Ellen and myself often shared special memories and recipes. I will always remember her fondly. God Bless.
