Dear Bud and family–thinking of you at this time when you have had to say good bye to Marty–she was such a kind and gentle person. Her and our Rhett had a special connection years ago and maybe they have reconnected in their new home. Keep all those wonderful memories of Marty in your heart-may they bring you comfort. hugs to you all from Austin, Tx. Deborah ransdell
Mrs. Scherer was my favorite teacher ever. She was part of my life for much longer than the 2 years she taught me in 3rd and 4th grade. She gave me a great love of reading which I passed down to my own children. To this day I still keep a copy of Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends" in my house. That's the book she read to us often before the bell rang to go home. Mrs. Scherer came to my wedding shower, my wedding, my baby shower. She was a wonderful person who will always have a little piece of my heart.
Mrs. Scherer was my 4th grade teacher. She was a kind and gentle soul! Another angel got their wings today. Peace and comfort to the Scherer family.
She was my teacher in 1980-1. She gave me so much positive support that I never stopped believing in myself. As a 'new kid' in the middle of a school year i think she knew i needed a lot of kindness. ?? She has always been my faveorite teacher. She was a kind and generous soul!! God Speed Mrs Scherer!!! Prayers of comfort and peace to the family.
I am truly heartbroken over this. My 4th grade teacher and a woman that CLEARLY saw what I SHOULD be. Heaven is getting a great one.Tyrone Connaway.
This was my favorite teacher. I could almost cry right now. Mrs. Scherer will be forever stamped on my heart.
Chris, Bud, Matt and Cammie, so sorry to read of Marty's passing. I know she had a long struggle these last few years. I have such fond memories of both Bud and Marty during High School and College years. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with both the Scherer and Snyder familiesDavid Williams
