Deb Hall – I was sad to read of your mom’s passing. Velma was a rock school bus driver and I have many fond and funny memories of her teaching me to drive a bus. My condolences to you and your family. Sorry I am not in the area to attend the service. God’s peace be with you!
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers
