To all of "Bobbi's" family;
She will always be "Mrs. Varney" to me; she was my fourth grade teacher back in the 60's. I admired her so much; she was always full of grace and patience (I still don't know how she put up with those rowdy boys!). She made that shy little redhead in the 2nd row, 3rd seat back, feel very special and I never forgot her. My own 3 children, now grown and one a teacher, used to love to hear stories of my childhood which always included the one of my favorite teacher, Mrs. Varney, who used to occasionally let me give the spelling test to the class. I am sure she touched many, many children in longlasting ways she didn't realize; I hope hearing from just one brings you some comfort. God Bless.
