Saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs Bass. Many fond memories of her putting up with David and I racing through her house, eating everything in sight! A truly classy lady. God bless and my sincere condolences to the family.

Bryce, Mason and family, I was so sorry to read about your grandmother’s death. She and your grandfather were legends in this county. They were both great educators and just caring folks. May you have some peace knowing they are together in God’s Kingdom. Cherish their memories. From Ms. Pennell – Oslo Middle School
