I was so sorry to hear about Mary's passing. I taught 4th grade with her at Guilford Middle School, and have many fond memories of our time together. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Blessings to you and your family in this difficult time. I was a student of Miss Gaither's at Guilford Middle in her 6th grade class. Today, our class website had posts about Miss Gaither's class. We remember turning our classroom into a jungle, singing Silent Night in German and other wonderful memories. We have such fond memories of this special teacher and the impact that she made on our lives. My thougths and prayers are with you at this time. Patti Pleasants Boone.
