I read this in the Item and it broke my heart. I had 'Miss Conlon' for first grade at Sisson School. Now, 40 years later, I fondly remember her as my all time favorite teacher. She was a wonderful lady and we were so lucky to have her. My deepest sympathies to her family. God bless you.

Kay was a beautiful woman, inside and out. I'll never forget having my "2nd suppers" at her table many nights during high school. She and Al were great role models for us all. Betty and I send heartfelt condolences.

My deepest sympathy for the Conlon family. I had Mrs Conlon for 1st grade at Sisson and loved her dearly! Later, I was a student with Ms Budd at English. So, needless to say, both Conlon women helped to shape me and for that I am greatful!! You will be in my thoughts during this difficult time!!
