To the Hackbarth Children,
I am 53 years old, and I still remember your mother fondly as my 2nd grade teacher at Spring Bluff Elementary School. She was always kind and had a sweet welcoming smile on her face. She helped me struggle learning how to first read and to write legibly. She was gifted with patience to work with small children and I am amazed she stayed at Spring Bluff her entire professional career. She must have touched so many little children’s lives like mine. I imagine how proud you all must be of her accomplishments. Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of such a great lady.
