To the family of Mrs. Kennedy, I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Kennedy was one of my favorite teachers. In high-school she taught me how to type without looking at my keyboard. In my adult years, when I seen her out I still referred to her as Mrs. Kennedy. She was great to me & she will be missed. Prayers & sympathy to all of her family & friends.💙🙏
