Dear Margaret and Family, Your Mother and Grandmother and I worked sided by side for many many years at Miller Wall Elem, and we went on to Paul Solis. She was dedicated to the profession but most of all she was dedicated to the students. She loved her children and grandchildren best. Mr. Westerfield (George) was extremely nice and devoted to her and the family. He built items for our classroom. Your Mother and Father were great. I have known her forever , we never had an angry word together. My children and I will always remember her and her beautiful ways. May God bless you and the family. Evelyn H. Peterson
