Annette, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Anganette

My prayers are with the Patterson family during this difficult time. Ms. Patterson was my grandmother during my time at Washington, in our Head Start classroom. She was a very sweet, quite person and was always willing to help in any way she could. I remember I got in trouble with my supervisor, because she accused us of not opening up and offering the art easel as a choice, but we used it everyday and it was a mess. Ms. Patterson cleaned it so well every day that it did look like it hadn't been used. I shared that with her and we laughed. Thank you for sharing her with us and she will always be remembered. Veronica Wray
