Dear Phil and family
I worked with LeNore at Stowe and transferred to Diego with her. She was an inspiration to me as a new teacher. I enjoyed her friendship at Stowe so very much. Later at Diego we drifted apart. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. LeNore graduated from Alvernia as I did. In fact she was in the same class as my sister,Barbara. She was a good woman. My condolences to you.

I was greatly saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Le Nore. I
worked with her for many years at the Stowe School, and treasured our
friendship. She always was willing to help any teachers or pupils who
needed assistance. I fondly recall her stories of Beth’s mischievous
exploits and Phillipp’s football successes. My deep condolences go to
Phil, Beth , Phillip and the rest of her family.
