I will miss the smile of Mrs. Robichaux. I would see her most Sundays at our son's cafe for Sunday Brunch and her smile always felt like sunshine entering the room. She never failed having something special to say to or about my little granddaughters. Sh##imported-begin##Peggy Stringer Claybar##imported-end##

I am so sad to hear of your loss. She was my accounting teacher in high school. I was going to quit the class because I was failing and she promised me if I'd stick with her, that she would help me before school and work with me in every way possible and ##imported-begin##Robin Lamprecht##imported-end##

I will miss Marion very much. We always had great visits when we were together. Marion and I taught together at Stark High School and have enjoyed being together in the Service League. She leaves a space that will be hard to fill.##imported-begin##Ruby Steppe##imported-end##

What a wonderful,sweet, and fun person your Mom was to be around. She was so involved in our Catholic Daughters and did such a great job as our education contest chairperson. We also joined the Service League of Orange at the same time 7 years ago and##imported-begin##Kitty Mazzola##imported-end##
