Mrs. Bohnet was such a wonderful lady. Almost every day after school I would go home with Judy. Her mom always greeted us in the kitchen. The smell of dinner cooking was wonderful. She was always friendly and kind and often invited me to dinner (I remember those liver dinners!). Even after I went to college I often stopped by on my visits back to Lyndonville. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
