March 30, 2021 11:15 AMNiall, I am so sorry and my heart breaks for you. You were one of my second grade students and I remember your dad would come by to check on you or to pick you up. I know he loved his boys and did an outstanding job of making sure you went to school every day and had all your work done. Above all, I knew he loved you very much and wanted you to succeed in life. I haven't seen or heard from you in several years but know that I remember you and hope you are okay. Love, Mrs. Dottie Depugh Adena second grade teacher and friend.
