Mrs. Stafford was my second and third grade teacher. I missed the first two weeks of second grade because of an ear infection. Mrs. Stafford patiently helped me catch up so I would not feel left behind. She was a lovely lady and a wonderful educator. My sincere condolences to your family. You will see her again in heaven!

Mrs. Stafford has been our next door neighbor for the last 15 years. We will surely miss her! We always enjoyed talking with Ruth and Bob, prior to his passing. I will miss seeing her in the lawn chair out front on pleasant summer evenings. Rest in peace! The Hanson family.
