Aunt Sue with Grandma Lehner (Her mama)

So sorry Nick and family. I'm glad I got to know you guys

Mrs Persha was my favorite school teacher. We both loved horses and for once in my life, she made me feel like I was the teacher's favorite student. I will never forget her or what she did for my self-confidence by making me feel special. Lovely lady who will be greatly missed. Her husband and extended family have my sympathy.

She was one of my favorite teachers. Loved her art projects. Started our year out as Miss Lehner and finished as Mrs. Persha!

Rest in peace Sue. Love and Prayers, Judy & Pat DeNucci
