    Dear Johnston Family,
    Very shocked to hear of your mother’s passing. I learned of her passing this morning at our Retired Women Teachers Meeting, as it was announced at the meeting. My deepest condolences go out to all of you. I taught with your mom at the Dresden Area Public School. She was such a kind and friendly person and always fun to be around. She will certainly be missed all her family and friends as she was always a compassionate and caring person to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.
    Sincerely,
    Shirley Takahashi

  2. My sympathy to all the family.
    Phyllis and I worked together at DACS. She was such a special lady. She had a very positive attitude and a great sense of humour. I have lost a great friend and I will miss her dearly.
    All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
