Sending our prayers and condolences to the family. We always enjoyed our visits with your parents/
grandparents during our years in St. Lawrence/Miller! John & Freda Rasko
You are in our prayers. Mrs. Marshall was a favorite teacher of mine – she made 4th grade/St. Lawrence very memorable. And I always enjoyed seeing her pretty works at the state fair. Special lady.
I remember her as a very nice lady. She taught me in the 2nd grade at Howell School, 1956-57.
Sharon and Karen, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. I have many great memories growing up in St. Lawrence and having your family as our very close neighbors.
God Bless!!!
